Article is new enough, nominated on date created, no close paraphrasing, sources cited; however, 1) it is not long enough. DYK eligibility scan results: Prose size (text only): 1444 characters (242 words) "readable prose size." There do not appear to be many references to her on the web, but I did find reference that in 2010 a book was published of her letters to Friedebert Tuglasele (aka Friedebert Tuglas) and information on some works dedicated to her memory which might help in expanding the article. [Tuglas] 2) The facts in the article seem to be generally verified in the documentation, but as I am not a speaker of Estonian I had to use a translator. Though I tried several different on-line translators, the only one that works is "Google translate" (Bing does not translate the title) for the book title and it translates as "Songs of a Worried Child." If a native Estonian speaker could verify the translation, that would help. I am also confused by the birth date. Source #1 gives it as 21 Aug 1890, but source #2 gives it as both 29 Aug 1890 and 10 Sep 1890. Back-checking, I realized this is because Estonia did not change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar until 1918, [estonia] but perhaps that should be addressed in the article and the date clarified? 3) Also, the article states she went to Tartu at 16, but both Bing and Google show London. Please clarify. Interesting piece, enjoyed learning about her. SusunW (talk) 22:23, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've lengthened it, following your tips. Reviewers are allowed to make changes, justy no major ones. On the translation problem - accept good faith, we do Victuallers (talk) 21:33, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Good to go. Thanks! Now long enough. No close paraphrasing, date controversy addressed, source clarifies Tartu location. I am okay with the hook, got another systrans to work and it shows disquieted, troubling child, so is a matter of translator semantics, as title is confirmed in multiple sources. Missed saying it before, but no obvious POV bias. SusunW (talk) 04:19, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
