Hello Mandarax thanks for your improvements of my DYK nomination. But I don't understand what is wrong with my putting The Routes of Slavery into quotation marks. Munfarid1 (talk) 08:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

It's in italics, not quotation marks, in the article. That's correct since, per MOS:ITALICTITLE, major works should be in italics; shorter works such as songs are put in quotation marks. Note that in the nomination, it wasn't actually in quotation marks – there was just a single quotation mark, which I removed. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 08:52, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Munfarid1, interesting music, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, but not perfect. In the first hook, I find the Arab-Western (in the ref) more interesting than a pale "award-winning". In the other, please add New York to give it more weight. Please suggest new hooks below. Minor things are not yet referenced, such as his own recordings. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, thanks again for your comments and help. I have referenced his own albums. Here are the new hooks:

• ALT1.0:... that Moroccan oud player Driss El Maloumi (pictured) played in the project The Routes of Slavery in New York's Lincoln Center? Source: See names of the musicians of the concert at Lincoln Center, NYC.)

Thank you! I change ALT1.0 a bit. How is this for the other?

ALT0.1: ... that Driss El Maloumi (pictured), a Moroccan oud player from a Berber family, trained in Western and Arabic classical music?

I like the Routes of Slavery one best. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:57, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

The paragraph about the trio still needs a ref, - I trust that you'll provide it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks again, Gerda Arendt, I have included the reference for the trio. Munfarid1 (talk) 10:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
