Symphony Six and a request
Please keep the page on your watchlist. I won't be able to edit Wikipedia for a few months and in case the GA review starts someone should be there to address the issues. One of my DYKs, Template:Did you know nominations/Grazing Goat Pictures Pvt. Ltd hasn't been reviewed so far. If you have enough time can you review it? Thanks.--Skr15081997 (talk) 15:58, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- A few images can be added to the article. Images of the Detroit Masonic Temple and Ernest MacMillan can be added. I think we should take this to FAR once it passes the GA review. What do you feel?--Skr15081997 (talk) 12:16, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
Sutton Heritage Mosaic DYK
Hi Yoninah, I am sure you are busy with other things, but, if you get a spare five minutes, would mind looking to see what can be done to get the pulled hook reinstated- as now amended. That would be very much appreciated. (I just don't know enough about the DYK process to do this myself.) A P Monblat (talk) 16:00, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi
Please take a look at the Template:Did you know nominations/Pettakere cave.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:45, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
- Please take a look at Wikipedia talk:Did you know at the bottom. User Crisco obviously wants to make some sort of statement because we had a small argument at the Pettakere cave articles DYK. I am a great contributor at the DYK section per my track record all the way from December 2010. Am I perfect, no by no means, do I need "guidance" no per the fact that I do seek help and input from other users. I just find it a bit over the top that a Reviewer can not handle himself in a better way when faced by small criticism. All I have to say is that my article about Smiley the alligator is currently this months most viewed article at DYKstats, and also my other articles at DYKstats for this month alone has over 40,000 views and then I am not adding the other articles that did not reach the 5,000 view threshold. There is no merit in the claim that I am not a good contributor to the DYK project. --BabbaQ (talk) 15:51, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for your input. As I said, am I a perfect editor, no. Am I a user who is willing to contribute and improve the issues raised at the DYKs yes. My track record from December 2010 until present time shows just that. There is no justification for trying to hound me off the DYK project. Thank you for the kind words by the way, I try to be polite like 99% of the time :) Thank you.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Willi Tokarev
Hi! Sorry for disturbance. Could you please take a look at the article "Willi Tokarev" one more time? Cause I've now expanded it a lot and I'm afraid there may be grammatical errors. (And thank you so much for reviewing it!) --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:34, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, one more thing. :) You've added the word "Russian", could you change it to "Russian-American"? "Russian-American singer Willi Tokarev". Cause he is primarily known as an expatriate singer (in Russia too; his most famous songs are written in New York and are about America). And I think that the expression "Russian-American" will make the hook more interesting for the English-speaking readers, more mysterious, and it will get more clicks. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:49, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Old Bridge, Hasankeyf
Thanks for your review of the DYK nomination for Old Bridge, Hasankeyf. I got a little stuck trying to locate a better reference for one of the unreferenced paragraphs (the mention of an earlier bridge encountered by Arab armies in 638–640), which is why I didn't come back to let you know I'd addressed these. On reflection, it makes more sense to get the DYK listed and keep working on better sources. Thanks also for the Gertrude Bell reference and your various fixes. I'd prefer to avoid mid-sentence references (unless, there's some especially controversial material that requires it), so I may move a one or two of the refs to the end of the relevant sentence. I realize that the sentence may contain some clarifying information not present in the cited source (e.g. distance between Hasankeyf and Diyarbakır, but that's not the same as making an unsupported assertion.
I do have one question: I see you deleted the specific chapter reference for the Meinecke citation (chapter=3. Hasankeyf/Ḥiṣn Kaifā on the Tigris: A Regional Center on the Crossroad of Foreign Influences). Is there a style reason not to specify the chapter? The rest of the book is not relevant to Hasankeyf at all. Rupert Clayton (talk) 16:28, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Checking DYKs
Hi Yoninah. Thanks for the advice on how to check for paraphrasing. It seems that Wikipedians have developed many tools that make these tasks easier, but because of the software I use to help me to edit it is not always possible for me to utilise them. This is unfortunately one of those times. As I am visually impaired I edit with the help of a screen magnifier and text-to-speech software, which means I am unable to perform certain tasks effectively. Text-to-speech does not bring up highlighted text, for example, while because I see only a portion of the screen with the magnification software, comparing two versions of a document would be a slow and cumbersome process. I have encountered this issue before, but was advised a couple of years ago to create a disclaimer page explaining the situation. This I did, and now I automatically add it to any review pages I am involved with, whether they be as a nominator or a reviewer. I've filed several DYK reviews since then and it doesn't usually cause an issue, so I'm hoping this can be resolved and it's just that you didn't see the link. If not it would virtually preclude me from being able to submit any future nominations. I hope that one day someone will write a piece of software to get round this problem, perhaps one that finds similar sounding phrases and copyrighted material, then generates a speech file with the relevant material, but until then I have to rely on the understanding and good will of the community. Thanks, This is Paul (talk) 18:27, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me about this. I kind of guessed things were being tightened up a bit, and I understand how careful we have to be with any published material. It does make sense to catch any copyvios as early as possible. I'm very happy to have a chat with Bluemoonset so we can decide what the best way around this would be. I've done a few GA reviews in the past and often requested a second opinion for stuff I couldn't check, so something similar with DYK would be good. Hopefully GiantSnowman will decide to review something, but if he doesn't should I pick another article? This is Paul (talk) 19:37, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- No worries, will do. And thanks again. This is Paul (talk) 20:43, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Strandzha Nature Park
Greetings, Yoninah! I have responded to your comments on the DYK nomination page of Strandzha Nature Park. I am sorry for the late response but I have had some very busy days at work. Regards, Gligan (talk) 15:57, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Just a thought, but do you really think that Easter Sunday is a good time to run a hook about a Hindu temple? It may not be immediately obvious due to DYKUpdateBot being configured for 3 updates/day today, but the set in Prep 4 should run at 00:00 (UTC) on April 5 (Easter). --Allen3 talk 21:30, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Template:Did you know nominations/Sacred Sperm is another nomination that could easily cause offense due to Passover. I would recommend reverting yourself and letting the hooks be promoted in another day or two (I planned to wait till sets for either the 7th or 8th). --Allen3 talk 21:35, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks for keeping an eagle eye on this. Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- If it was me, I would revert the promotions of the problematic hooks and replace them with hooks from other nominations. --Allen3 talk 21:41, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- If you can find enough Christian related hooks to fill two sets, then an all Christian Easter would be nice. My memory is that there is only one nom in the special requests area for the date and a limited supply in the general nominations area. Without a good sized supply of noms that are "good fits" for the day it is usual practice to simply avoid hooks that are a "bad fit". April 5 is also Opening Day for baseball, so baseball related hooks would be appropriate for the day. --Allen3 talk 21:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Clara
Hi Yoninah, I worked on a number of women's articles last month. These were all created using PD sources, and they can languish just fine as is, but I thought I'd mention them to you in case they are of interest: Sadie American, Rose Sommerfield, Julia Schoenfeld, Marion Simon Misch, Clara de Hirsch, Clara de Hirsch Home for Working Girls, and Irene Kauffman Settlement. I couldn't help but wonder if these women had been men, how much more might have been written about them, but in the context of when they were around, I'm glad they were considered notable to get into the history books! Cheers, --Rosiestep (talk) 15:23, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

About the unsourced hook...
In the course of researching the article, I contacted a genealogist who connected me to Mrs. Hirsch's son, who emailed me some information about his mother. Although I couldn't use it as a source per WP:V, I was still writing with it in mind, so that's why I put that in the article and hook. Anyway, chag Pesach samech.
