... that in the Hungarian folktale Two Pieces of Nuts, to woo the king a woman promises to bear children with a moon on the chest and a star on the forehead? Source: Banó István. "Két szem magyaró". In:
''Ethnographia'' [
hu 50. évf. 1-2. sz. (1939). pp. 159-161.
Overall: Nothing on Earwig's. AGF on foreign language source. Fascinating folklore. The image is free, consider adding the image too.

evrik,
theleekycauldron has pointed a genuine issue with the DYK that I had missed. What they are saying is that the hook is about fiction without real life implications. This is not allowed according to the consensus that currently exists on DYKRULES. I have updated my review table to reflect this. Can you suggest another DYK that is about real life implication of the topic?

I think that the words Hungarian folktale tie it to the real world, but here is an alternate:
Alt1 "... that the Hungarian folktale Two Pieces of Nuts, is similar to other folktales that feature endangered children who return to tell their story.
I promoted the original per nom. I am a pretty strong advocate of not having plot-only hooks (for the typical reasons) but as folk stories are at least pseudo-historical, I would accept this based on that.

The only other thing that comes to mind would be a hook about the ATU classification, but that feels like a reach. ezlev (

I think my main concern with both hooks is that neither hook makes sense unless you're familiar with the geography of Hungary, which I imagine would be most of our readership. With that said, I can at least understand the opinion of "it's vague on purpose since it could tempt people to read more", so I will bow to consensus on this one.

I also think that the second suggestion is misleading because the article uses the term "collected" rather than "found". I think the second suggestion would be a better option than the first if "found" was changed to "collected".
