[[Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Statistics#All-time_DYK_page_view_leaders|Successful hooks]] tend to have [[User:Theleekycauldron/Essays/Assessing DYK hooks|several traits]]. Most importantly, they share a surprising or intriguing fact. They give readers enough context to understand the hook, but leave enough out to make them want to learn more. They are written for a [[WP:AUDIENCE|general audience]] who has no prior knowledge of or interest in the topic area. Lastly, they are concise, and do not attempt to cover multiple facts or present information about the subject beyond what's needed to understand the hook.<!-- Please keep this answer concise! It should communicate only the essentials; it's not the place for your personal niche pet peeve. -->

This page is often backlogged. As long as your submission is still on the page, it will stay there until an editor reviews it. Since editors are encouraged to review the oldest submissions first, it may take several weeks until your submission is reviewed. In the meantime, please consider reviewing another submission (not your own) to help reduce the backlog (see [[#Instructions for reviewers|instructions below]]). Because of [[WP:DYKTIMEOUT]], a nomination should be reviewed within two months since the reviewer/promoter may agree to reject and close an unpromoted hook after that time has passed.
