DYK for Kirya Ne'emana

Hi. Why did you remove the reference from the Beverly Hills Courier?Zigzig20s (talk) 22:37, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Close rephrasing/referencing issues (friendly question)

Hello. I have an open-ended question here. How can we not come close to rephrasing other sources if we are allowed no original research whatsoever and everything needs to be backed up by secondary sources apparently? I feel like this latter policy has changed a little recently, or is maybe being taken too far by some editors (not necessarily yourself, just asking you because you seem friendly and may have some good advice). Honestly, I don't think it is possible. In my own academic work (outside Wikipedia, in journals), I quote and cite a lot of other sources, and then I add my own original research. But here, if we can't do that at all, it seems a bit strange. A new policy seems to be that relevance needs to be backed up by secondary sources as well: for example, on the Beverly Hills 9/11 Memorial Garden, another editor won't let me add that the monument mentions the names of donors like Larry King or Lili Bosse (inscribed upon the monument itself), which would seem to be like a description of the monument, not anything that needs to be referenced aside from a picture (and perhaps an additional reference from the official website for the monument). Do you get my drift? I was also not accused of paraphrasing when I created mustang wine, even though every sentence is referenced.Zigzig20s (talk) 21:15, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I replied. I still don't understand why you would want a secondary source for a description of what's ON the monument.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:17, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

It's a description; not controversial; look at the picture/monument.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:50, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Haredi Judaism

I am tempted to undo this edit, except if you can convince me otherwise.

1. The article provides a link to the verse in Isaiah 66:2: וְחָרֵד עַל-דְּבָרִי and its archaic translation, and trembleth at My word, which I changed to Modern English trembles. So you can see why the words one who belong in brackets.
2. I'm pretty sure that the word word in the phrase The word connotes refers to the word trembles (hared, וְחָרֵד) and not to the word word (דְּבָרִי); so why the added quotation mark glyphs? -- -- -- 21:12, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Symphony six

I have expanded the above article from 2381 to 10266 characters. I am finding it very difficult to add the 1639 more characters to complete the 5x expansion. Do you have access to JSTOR?--Skr15081997 (talk) 12:34, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

The above article has been 5x expanded. Please review it. The lead has been expanded in order to provide accessible overview to the readers. There might be a few mistakes in the current version, but hopefully they would be resolved. Thanks for suggesting me to expand the article a week ago, now it's in a much better state. In addition to the book Begins with the Oboe I have used the biography of Sir Ernest MacMillan written by Ezra Schabas. I will propose alternate hook on the Ruth Budd nomination template shortly. Thanks again.--Skr15081997 (talk) 10:07, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I have made the necessary changes to Ruth Budd, William Kuinka and Dirk Keetbaas articles. Now the DYK nomination should be reviewed. Thanks.--Skr15081997 (talk) 13:16, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Today, I am going to nominate the above article for GA.--Skr15081997 (talk) 09:26, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

The above article has been further expanded to meet the 5x expansion criteria. Please review the other articles. Thanks.--Skr15081997 (talk) 11:29, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Paco Campos

Since our discussion their isn't relevant to the DYK nomination specifically, it'll be best to continue here. The QPQ article is a GA, so it was just checked for neutrality and copyvio. Doing so again is just a waste of time. As for checking for length, a GA is never going to be under 1500 characters. --Jakob (talk) 23:25, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Fiacre (carriage)

Yoninah, have the edits satisfied your objections to this nomination? Please stop by and give a tick or other icon. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:23, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

• Also, there have been (unannounced) edits at Template:Did you know nominations/Devasena, which may have satisfied your objections there. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:57, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	When I left a message on the DYK talk page, I didn't expect much to come of it for at least 12 hours, but the deadly duo of Yoninah and EEng performed magnificently, I expected it would need some fixes from me, but you, EEng , and Belle fixed all the issues. Thank you very much for getting it done for me, I am very grateful. Best, Matty.007 07:00, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

"New enough" criteria for BLP

Thanks for your comments on Template:Did you know nominations/Maynard (broadcaster),where you said "The article before the expansion did have some refs, so it has to qualify under the 5x expansion rule."

I have added the relevant information to that page showing how it meets this requirement, but being quite new to Wikipedia, I was wondering if you can tell me where I can find out more about this requirement. Up to now, I worked from the rules at Wikipedia:Did_you_know/New_article, but that page does not make any distinction whether the original had refs. I'm keen to learn; where can I find more on this topic? --Gronk Oz (talk) 23:31, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Cherub

Hello, Yoninah! About ten days ago I read the article on Cherub. I made some minor copy-edits but found other issues about which I could not be sure, so I wrote them up in a comment on my talk page at User talk:CorinneSD#Cherub and pinged another editor to see if he could address the issues. He replied that it was not his field and would have to read up on it first. It's been a while, so I thought I'd ask you if you could answer my questions. After I posted my comment on my talk page, I noticed a few other questionable edits to the article. CorinneSD (talk) 19:58, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
