Liebenberg and Kaplan

[edit]
  • ... that the architectural firm Liebenberg and Kaplan was met with anti-Semitism in the Minneapolis business community? "Liebenberg and Kaplan struggled to find work during their first few years together as the Minneapolis business community's widespread anti-Semitism limited the opportunities available to a pair of Jewish architects." — Kenney, Dave (2007). Twin Cities Picture Show: A Century of Moviegoing. St. Paul, Minnesota: Minnesota Historical Society Press. p. 74.
    • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

  • Some issues:
    • There's no source cited for Liebenberg's birthdate.
    • Kaplan's birthdate is cited to Findagrave, but that's an inappropriate source per WP:UGC.
    • The copyvio detector indicates a 63.2% violation with a number of word for word phrases and sentences taken from this source.
  • Once these issues are addressed this will pass DYK. The hook is cited to an offline, but reliable source. It's a shame that the content of the hook is only discussed in a single sentence in this otherwise thorough article, but that's not a reason to keep it off DYK. It's long enough, new enough, and an excellent discussion of the topic with well-selected and placed images. Gamaliel (talk) 18:41, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
  • I have done some copyright clean-up and revision deletion will follow shortly. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:29, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
  • Replacing inappropriate icon with one more appropriate. The "X" icon should only be used when articles are completely ineligible or nearly so, and issues raised likely too difficult to address. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:34, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
Did this article ever appear in DYK?KIRTIS (talk) 12:16, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

      • I fixed the remaining close paraphrasing and removed the non-RS source, so that resolves the existing issues. The copyvio detector is now down to 27%, and that is only due to a few long quotes. I think this is ready to go. Gamaliel (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
Recent cleanup seems to have addressed remaining issues. Is there a way to know when/if the page will appear in DYK?KIRTIS (talk) 12:50, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
