Casals Forum

Halls of Casals Forum
Halls of Casals Forum

Created by Gerda Arendt (talk) and DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 20:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - Could you please provide a source?
  • Interesting: No - This is really only marginally interesting. Do you have any other suggestions?
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: There are some copyvio issues. The first two sentences of the lede appear to be copied from this source. Some issues with the hook which I have outlined above. Also some readability issues. Are you able to reword this sentence as I'm not really sure what it means: Raimund Trenkler, the founder and president of the Academy, explained the dedication to Pablo Casals as to a model for music making and humanity. Likewise with this: The climate control is efficient by an Eiskeller. Overall it is an ok article but sometimes feels like a lose collection of facts rather than a coherent summary - this is probably a standard slightly too high for DYK tho. Once the above issues are fixed it should be good to go. Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:49, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing.
  • The socalled copyvio: I promise that I didn't copy anything from a source, I simply translated from the German Wikipedia. How else would you describe where a hall is and after whom it is named? There are even standards to word the former.
  • Hook: the image shows that this is so. But I'll try to find a source also. - The key is that these curved walls lead to a phenomenal acoustic, but how to say so in 200 chars?
  • I'll reword the explanation of the dedication and the climate control, understanding that it needs background for English-speaking context.
  • I'll let you know when done, which may take a few days. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Per copyvio, I'm sure it is unintentional but its word-for-word. Is it possible the source instead copied us?
Source: The Casals Forum is a concert hall for chamber music, completed in 2022 for the Kronberg Academy in Kronberg im Taunus, Hesse, Germany. It is named after the cellist Pablo Casals.

I didn't ask you to repeat, - I asked how else you would say that. It's just the standard wording, no intellectual property damaged. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
My apologies - I didn't mean to bludgeon you about this. There are a few ways you can rephrase the lede to avoid this - I could have a go but I probably won't have time to look at this properly again until the end of the week. Vladimir.copic (talk) 23:16, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I also had no time but now rephrased almost all sentences (at least that's how it feels), - please check again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:43, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
ALT0a: ... that in the hall of the new Casals Forum (pictured), the new concert hall for chamber music of the Kronberg Academy, walls are curved and covered with wood, reminiscent of a string instrument? -- (forgot to sign)
Issues seem to be fixed. ALT0a looks a lot better but it needs to be mentioned in the article. Could you also provide me with a source? Vladimir.copic (talk) 22:37, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
I hope I could, using one ref for a quote and adding another, - please check. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Sources and content are there now. I can't read German so am AGF and approving now. Vladimir.copic (talk) 21:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
