A fact from Pine Gap Women's Peace Camp appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 June2026(check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the 1983 Pine Gap Women's Peace Camp in Alice Springs led to many women moving there and making it a regional lesbian capital of Australia?
... that the 1983 Pine Gap Women's Peace Camp in Alice Springs (Mparntwe) led to many women moving there and making it a regional lesbian capital of Australia?
Not a full review (sorry), but suggest revising ALT0 to
ALT0a ... that many women moved to Alice Springs (Mparntwe) following the 1983 Pine Gap Women's Peace Camp, making the city a regional lesbian capital of Australia?
As a side note, I fixed the source you had listed for that hook and added the URL to the article:) ♠PMC♠(talk) 06:01, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
Interesting article, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. In the article, I think we need to say early that this plays in Australia, and the best way would be to give it an {{infobox event}}. In the sentence about teaparty, the quote is not closed. Of the hooks, I prefer ALT0. ALT0a has an unlinked unknown place which would be explained only by the bold article. I don't think "(Mparntwe)" is needed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:43, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
ALT0 also has the unlinked unknown place, Gerda, that's where I got it from. ♠PMC♠(talk) 14:06, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
Hi all, thank you so much, Mparntwe is the Arrernte name for Alice Springs and the original name of what is now called Alice Springs, it does not need to be included in the DYK or the article. Also - I hope I have addressed the issues raised AND I have added an infobox, thanks again, cheers Aliceinthealice (talk) 04:25, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
Thank you, all. The unlinked place is no problem after a linked one (for me), but how about linking it? variations:
ALT0a: ... that the 1983 Pine Gap Women's Peace Camp in Alice Springs (Mparntwe) led to many women moving there and making it a regional lesbian capital of Australia?
ALT0c: ... that the 1983 Pine Gap Women's Peace Camp in Mparntwe led to many women moving there and making it a regional lesbian capital of Australia?
I fixed the two points in the article.
approving all variants of the original hook. Do you have a preference, Alice? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:40, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
Hi Gerda thank you so much! My preference is ALT0a but they all work, thank you again Aliceinthealice (talk) 22:10, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
@Aliceinthealice:, can I get longer quote/s from the Kelham "Waltz in P-Flat: the Pine Gap Women's Peace Protest 1983" source supporting the ALT0 hooks please. I'm having trouble accessing the source and the best I can get from one of the ABC sources is A women-only 'peace camp' at the Pine Gap defence facility in 1983 is one factor behind the town's large number of lesbians said local historian Megg Kelham, which isn't quite the same as what the hooks are saying.

@Aliceinthealice: cheers. The Wikipedia Library was giving me grief yesterday, but I've just managed to access it. For anyone later reviewing this nomination, the full quote is "Easier to prove but less often claimed is the unanticipated impact the protest had on the demographics of the local community which became its reluctant host—that of dramatically increasing the town’s lesbian population. Today Alice Springs is, as ABS statistics appear to corroborate, the regional lesbian capital of the nation.30 What impact this has had on the social fabric of Alice Springs would be interesting to know."TarnishedPathtalk 03:56, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
