QPQ to come soon; hoping WP:IAR can be applied for this nom. I think this can be a silly/quirky hook, so open to ALT hooks/phrasing as well to accentuate the quirkiness of it. Moved both pages to mainspace on May 4, so a few hours shy on the 7-day week limit. Just get busy offline and also on Wikipedia and lose track of the time tbh. Sorry about that.

- Both articles were moved into the mainspace almost six hours late from the prescribed seven-day period. It can be pardoned, however, as the joint nomination is otherwise DYK-compliant—long enough, well sourced (with primary and Twitter sources used sparingly), neutral, and copyvio-free—and nominator clearly has real-life commitments; invoking IAR privilege is totally reasonable. Furthermore, the hook is cited (both in the article and nom page) and witty for the most part. Since QPQs have been given, this should be good to go.

Overall: I found this an interesting hook that caught my attention. AGF on restricted sources, although available extracts seemed to confirm the facts. Only comment would be that this article could possibly be improved by an infobox, e.g. Template:Infobox medical condition, or other supporting material, although this is not strictly necessary for DYK.

- This article needs a lead section, as it would deserve {{lead missing}} without one.--Launchballer 11:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Good idea about the infobox, will try to add something later. Per MOS:NOLEAD, the article is not long enough to require a lead, unless there is some DYK-specific rule I'm unaware of. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- If I'm reading that correctly, then articles are exempted from having them when they are stubs, and stubs can't run per WP:DYKSTUB.--Launchballer 16:46, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- I read the policy slightly differently, i.e. stubs and other articles under 400/500 words don't require a lead. Often, the threshold for not being a stub anymore is roughly 250/300 words. So shorter Start articles also don't always benefit from a lead section. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:54, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've added an infobox and slightly expanded the article so it's more clearly above the stub threshold. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:10, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- I still think the article would benefit from having a brief lead, such as "Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is the inability of heart rate to increase as expected in response to exercise. The condition can be defined in different ways and occurs in various diseases. Sufferers have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and early death."--Launchballer 19:30, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Munfarid1 (talk) 21:34, 11 May 2024 (UTC).
- Performing a review here. A QPQ is in progress for Hae Nang Maew, and I'm WP:AGF that it will be completed. The sources for the article look to be reliable, and I see no red flags as far as NPOV. Article is sufficiently new and long.
- Let's work with ALT1, as I think it's the most interesting for outside readers. It also needs some edits to be clear for an outside reader.. "Instead of" is a little unclear as it implies that maybe she was supposed to do something and disobeyed. The article is more accurate in that the chair "represented her artistic vision of Syrian victims and refugees". We should also somehow note the Syrian context, both for the artist and refugees. This probably doesn't need more than a few wording tweaks, if you want to try again. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:42, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review and comments. - How about ALT1a then? Munfarid1 (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's really close. Can we re-add context of who she is? (e.g.: a Syrian artist and activist?) I might consider a more precise word than "vision". Maybe "representation"? But if there isn't a better word, "vision" is fine. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I have added Syrian artist to ALT1b now, but IMHO "vision" is the better word here. Hooks are supposed to be somewhat enigmatic, to make people curious. I think you can choose now, and finish your review. Munfarid1 (talk) 21:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree "vision" is better. Let's go ahead with ALT1b. . Shooterwalker (talk) 13:58, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- I just changed the picture to the empty chair, as I think this will attract more attention than the earlier suggested portrait of the artist. Hope this is okay for everyone.Munfarid1 (talk) 10:11, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- That's an interesting idea and I support it. The approval for ALT1b is still valid, whatever picture we decide. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- On the QPQ requirement, I don't think it matters if the DYK you reviewed succeeds or fails. But maybe give them a ping at Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Hae_Nang_Maew. It wouldn't hurt to keep that process moving and close it off. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:16, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

If any admin comes across this, I still haven't received the 25 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal yet, at 28 hooks, so if anyone can it would be greatly appreciated! (As a footnote, Wizardry VI debuted in the west in 1990 but the Japanese release came out in 1995, if there is pre-existing MOS guidelines that state that it should be 1990 instead then I would advise it to be edited but the 1995 release is what Kui is referring to as her inspiration)
