Clara Leiser
... that American journalist and writer Clara Leiser (c. 1898 – 1991) traveled frequently to Nazi Germany and documented the plight of the families of political prisoners? Source: [1]
Created by Drmies (talk), Grimes2 (talk), and Gerda Arendt (talk). Nominated by Drmies (talk) at 22:56, 8 August 2021 (UTC).
- Thank you for including me before I even added, Drmies. The mentioning of life data is unusual for DYK. We might get more specific with a hook about the fate of Mildred Harnack, or Hilde Koch, or the interview with a prison director, but up to you.
- ALT0a: ... that American journalist and activist Clara Leiser traveled to Nazi Germany frequently, and documented the plight of families of political prisoners?
- "Nazi" gives extra clicks, 1000 when mentioned at the end, 2000 when mentioned early. Sad if you think of it. - Thank you also for help with the new user who finds DYK in general a "tragic" "perversion" of their intention to promote new knowledge, - not without irony, that view. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- ALT2:
... that Clara Leiser wrote the poem "To and from the guillotine", when she heard from the execution of her friend Mildred Harnack by the Nazis? Grimes2 (talk) 10:23, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- In this case - with Clara Leiser reading like a German name - I think we should "American" somehow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:30, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

- I'm fine with ALT0a, thanks. Drmies (talk) 16:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Her friend's article is tag-bombed. Can they go, now that you two improved? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:53, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- That's up to Scope creep. I don't know about the copy edits, but the lead is indeed a bit short. Drmies (talk) 17:05, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Drmies:@Grimes2:,@Gerda Arendt: That is really cool you have created a Clara Leiser article. I was hoping somebody would have done it. I also was hoping somebody would have a done a copyedit and better lede on Mildred Harnack. If somebody can do a lede and do a copyedit.. I'll do a lede in the next couple of hours. scope_creepTalk 17:34, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Copyedit can do WP:GOCE/REQ, but that takes a month. Grimes2 (talk) 17:40, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- I have left a request at user:Tenryuu. Hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 13:22, 11 August 2021 (UTC
- @Drmies: @Grimes2: @Gerda Arendt: That is the two articles of Mr and Mrs Harnack, been copyedited by Tenryuu. They look and read better. scope_creepTalk 09:13, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Fine. Grimes2 (talk) 09:25, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

as long as we've cleared all of that up, we're good to go! I'm only approving ALT0a, though. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 09:03, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
