Fuchs Mizrachi School

5x expanded by Theleekycauldron (talk). Self-nominated at 00:22, 18 October 2021 (UTC).


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - see below
  • Interesting: No - see below
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, well-sourced and plagiarism-free. However, I find none of the hooks particularly interesting. For ALT0, the only thing which I think can hook readers is "Nazi" which doesn't really scream "interesting"; for ALT1, it does not seem particularly hooky that a retired basketball coach came out of retirement to coach basketball players; ALT2 doesn't seem particularly attention-grabbing either. All the hooks—with the exception of ALT2—are not cited at the end of their sentences either. QPQ has been done. Pamzeis (talk) 07:46, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

  • @Pamzeis: i'm not so sure—it seems reasonably interesting to me that Jewish high schoolers held a protest in front of the home of a Nazi guard's Cleveland home, nearly fifty years after the holocaust had ended. I'm happy to hear any ALT suggestions if you have them, they may benefit from workshopping in some manner—or I'm also interested to hear if you have any other hooks. We'll strike ALTs 1 and 2, but I think ALT0 is workable—I've cited them all inline, in any case. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 07:57, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
    I think the reason why I didn't find it interesting was because it was kinda vague. How about...
    • ALT1a:... that students and faculty from Fuchs Mizrachi School protested at Nazi guard John Demjanjuk's home in 1993 to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive and pass the story on to the next generation? Or
  • @Pamzeis: "students and faculty" is better, I'd go with that
    • ALT1b:... that members of Fuchs Mizrachi School protested at Nazi guard John Demjanjuk's home in 1993 to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive and pass the story on to the next generation?
    Let me know what you think. Pamzeis (talk) 08:03, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
    • Requesting a new review of ALT1a and b. Pamzeis (talk) 09:38, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Article meets all the requirements per Pamzeis, but perhaps there still could be a more interesting hook. Suggest ALT1c:
... that members of Fuchs Mizrachi School protested at Nazi guard John Demjanjuk's home in 1993 to protest his release from Israeli prison and residence in the United States? Heythereimaguy (talk) 14:18, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
@Pamzeis: I don't like the reuse of "protest", so ALT1d: ... that students and faculty from Fuchs Mizrachi School protested at Nazi guard John Demjanjuk's home in 1993, objecting to his release from Israeli prison and residence in the United States? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 18:39, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
@Theleekycauldron: Well then, ALT1d to DYK. Heythereimaguy (talk) 19:53, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
