ALT1: ... that writer Dmitrii Milev's version of the "Moldavian language", developed in the 1920s for his Soviet readers, has been labeled as "gibberish"? Source: Eugen Lungu, "Panait Istrati 'tradus' la Balta", in Vatra, Vol. XXIV, Issue 275, February 1994, p. 20.
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: A very fine article on an interesting writer and political activist. No plagiarism according to Earwig. AGF on offline Romanian sources. One very minor quibble: the DYK subject ought to precede all other wikilinked articles. Just rearrange the syntax of the opening of ALT0 to give Milev precedence and I'll approve the article. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 00:20, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks, CurryTime7-24. I wasn't aware of this rule (and I must admit I cannot find in the guidelines and supplementary guidelines -- are you sure you don't have it confused for the need to have a link on a word in its first mention?); in any case, I have amended ALT0.

You're right. Sorry about making you go through the trouble of amending ALT0. A fellow editor made me rearrange the syntax on a number of my early DYKs, which led me to the mistaken belief that having the bolded link appear first was some kind of rule. I apologize. Approving both DYK alts. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:26, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
