- New reviewer needed to do full review. Original reviewer only edited on Wikipedia that one day, so I don't feel we can trust the review; for all we know, it might have been yet another sock of PapaJeckloy, who was creating socks at that point in time.

Dates and lengths are fine. I was able to verify that Jovan Albanez (Јован Албанез) was mentioned in the book cited via Google Books), but the book is in Serbian so I wasn't able to verify the hook any further, though the two articles are consistent. No obvious sign of copyvio or other policy issues. Should be good to go. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:54, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
Both articles needed a thorough copyedit for English grammar, which I did. However, while Serbian Hussar Regiment may be good to go, Jovan Albanez is simply a cut-and-paste of several paragraphs from Serbian Hussar Regiment. I don't think a mirror article qualifies for DYK.

- Thank you Yoninah very much for copy editing of both articles. You are right, though it was the opposite way. Significant portion of text (1,509 characters to be precise) from smaller article about Jovan Albanez were used to create bigger Serbian Hussar Regiment article of 2,687 characters (1,509 + 1,178). My rationale was like this: if 1,500 characters are minimum per DYK requirements, around 80% of that number are not same as in other article. If my logic is wrong, I don't mind turning this nomination into single instead of double.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:37, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
- Well, that's an interesting explanation. Still, there is not 1500 words of original text in Serbian Hussar Regiment if all that text is credited to Jovan Albanez. If you don't have additional biographical information about Albanez, I suggest that you just nominate Serbian Hussar Regiment, which seems more complete. Yoninah (talk) 20:49, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
- I added about 580 characters to the Regiment article so its text has more than 1,500 characters of text different from Albanez article.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 09:51, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
