Comment: My second DYK nomination

Created by Oronsay (talk). Self-nominated at 02:29, 9 April 2021 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - "began work in the NLA's film department in the same year" needs a source
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: @Oronsay: Nice article. Earwig's copyvio tool returned only direct quotes which are properly attributed. Minor sourcing point above that shouldn't be too hard to resolve. Both hooks are fine though I have a slight preference for the original ALT0. Just a heads up that this will be your third DYK credit (non-self-nominations count too, per WP:DYKRULES #5, so Anna B. Eckstein is included). DanCherek (talk) 04:58, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek: Thank you. I am having internet issues but will add the missing reference as soon as I can. Regarding the DYK for Anna B. Eckstein, I am listed as a co-creator of the article, having added 3 categories and resolved a DAB. I was not the person who nominated it for DYK. Does this make a difference to the count? Oronsay (talk) 05:27, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, I just took a closer look at that article. Anyways, since Andrew Davidson listed you as a co-creator in the DYK nomination, you were credited for the DYK in the QPQ system — that is the link that reviewers check for QPQ credits. The DYK rule I linked above says If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ, so even though you didn't self-nominate that one, I believe it's still counted by the system.

Thank you @DanCherek: for taking the time to reply. That seems rather strange. But I have no problem with the count being 3, now that I know. Oronsay (talk) 06:59, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek: Reference now added. Oronsay (talk) 01:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good to go, thanks for the interesting article! DanCherek (talk) 01:18, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
