Created/expanded by Omert33 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:58, 28 November 2020 (UTC).
- Thank you Omert33 for this very interesting addition to the encyclopedia! For DYK, it is new enough, long enough, neutrally written, no pings on Earwig, and ALT0 and ALT1 are both very interesting. No QPQ required. I have one concern about adherence to policy, which is that especially for the section on the protests, which may be controversial, it is important that each claim be accompanied by the source that verifies it, rather than leaving to the end of the section. Is it possible to add those in? Innisfree987 (talk) 02:14, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Added sources to ALT2 and ALT3.I would also recommend using the image. Thank you. --Omer Toledano (talk) 04:34, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Omert33, ah I apologize, I wasn’t clear enough: I meant in the entry, the statements should each have their relevant source cited at the end of the sentence, at least in the protest section which may be controversial (but it is good practice thoughout). This is to adhere to the DYK rule that entries should be within policy and that is part of WP:BLP policy. Meanwhile I can definitely propose the picture—it will be up to the promoter to decide whether to use it as only one image is chosen per day so there are often more images than openings for them. We’ll try though! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:34, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Also if you prefer a different caption, that’s fine with me! I just had to pick something to fill out the form but we can change it. Innisfree987 (talk) 05:46, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. I added citations. By the way... I was under the impression that it is better to cite at the end of a paragraph. Throughout the years, I've actually seen people move citations to the end of the paragraph as a preferable way to do it but "to each his own" I guess. --Omer Toledano (talk) 05:58, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Innisfree987, Performed copy editing for punctuation, grammar, typos, and redundancies. What do you think? --Omer Toledano (talk) 15:03, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- I’m sorry, the section on the Black Flag protests, which are the most likely to draw contentious editing if she is featured on Main Page, still look unreferenced to me. It’s interesting to hear you have seen a preference for this style—I definitely know some prefer never to interrupt a sentence but I’ve never heard about the end of a paragraph... I would have guessed it was regional as I usually work on US bios, but recently was involved in the Good Article nomination of Priscilla Jana, a South African activist. If you have a look at that, you can see what I had in mind? Thank you, I just want to make sure the entry is solid before it hits the spotlight! Innisfree987 (talk) 16:19, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Innisfree987, I added another reference citation in the part about "The Black Flag" protests. For your consideration. --Omer Toledano (talk) 17:46, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I came over from the note at WT:DYK. While piling up the citations at the end of a paragraph is fine for a start-class article at DYK, in this case, if the reviewer feels that these sentences can be seen as controversial and raise WP:ERRORS comments from readers while it's on the main page, then you should please add the inline cites.
- BTW, this is the second hook you've proposed that mentions the subject's participation in the protests against Netanyahu (the other is Gonen Ben Itzhak). Does every hook have to mention this? I feel like you're pushing an agenda or something. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Apparently, I am a big fan of revolutionaries. :-) --Omer Toledano (talk) 16:58, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, Yoninah, for explaining why I am asking for inline citations. Omert33, please just let me know when you’ve added them. At this point I would do it myself but unfortunately I don’t read Hebrew. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:39, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Innisfree987: Per your request, I've added inline citations. I trust this should suffice. --Omer Toledano (talk) 18:55, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
Thank you very much, it does. All set. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:09, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
