- Comment: Although I may be too late, but can this work as a Muslim/Eid Special DYK set scheduled next week? Alternatively, ALT3 may be considered for DYKAPRIL. Also, please watch out if the page title is moved to Pheni as requested by me.

Overall: 
Article meets all of the DYK criteria: length, newness, etc. Love the idea of having this for the Eid set. Copyvio tool flags no issues. While I was editing the article for language, I tagged one sentence {{clarification needed}}. What rounds? Also, to work with the proposed Eid set, I'd recommend highlighting the connection between pheni and fasting in the hook. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:16, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Crisco 1492: Thank you for reviewing. I cannot interpret/translate what should that be called in English. Perhaps, this video would help in visualizing the act of stretching the dough and making multiple layers of it in cicular shape until fine threads are visible (too long text). Any suggestions? Also, added three more ALTs, highlighting fasting, Ramadan, and Muslims respectively. Lastly, in update of my above comment, the page has been moved. Thank you. M. Billoo 20:49, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Alright, I've simplified for the sake of getting this moving, given the tight timelines. Looks good to go! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:52, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
