Timurnama
[edit]- ... that by using Timur as the subject of the fourth poem (Timurnama) of his Khamsa (quintet), its author Hatefi implied that the Turco-Mongol conqueror was a second Alexander the Great? Source: "Hatifi wrote a Khamsa (‘Quintet’) in emulation of the Khamsas of Nizami Ganjavi and Amir Khusrau Dihlavi, but replaced the earlier poets’ romances of Alexander/Iskandar with an epic about Timur, thus implicitly identifying Timur as another Alexander."

- This seems like an interesting article, I'd be happy to take on the DYK review. It's quite a long article so it will take me a bit longer than usual, but I hope to be able to get back with a full review tomorrow. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 20:43, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
So, here is the review: the article is substantially more than a 5x expansion, done recently enough. QPQ has been done and the image is properly licensed. The article is within policy. The hooks are fine, supported by inline citations, though the original hook might possibly be a bit misleading since the source merely says that Biliotti negotiated the safe conduct of the besieged, not the surrender, but I guess that is implied. But in any case I would prefer ALT2, which is both the most "hooky" and also a good summary of important parts of Biliotti's career. In any case the article is good to go for DYK. It is a high quality, fascinating read, I'm happy to be able to promote content like this to a main page appearance. If you haven't thought of it already, I would highly recommend you nominate it for GA status. Yakikaki (talk) 18:43, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review and your kind words. On the first hook, it says that Biliotti negotiated the end of the siege -- that is correct, as you can hardly besiege a town with nobody in it. UndercoverClassicist T·C 20:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Article is new and long enough, QPQ is met, the hook citation seems to check out based on machine translation, and the hook itself is strong without any issues, and as a hook for a fictional work possesses basis in the real world creative process. In lack of the ability to check the sources in detail, everything seems to check out and there's no obvious issues. The article is presentable; info on reception is lacking on reception but that's common for manga articles. I'll quibble that the audio drama voices and movie comic information would ideally find a more concrete source than a tweet, but they're basic enough facts that I don't think that's a major issue.

Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:12, 31 July 2024 (UTC).
- The hook is honestly not very interesting (it was not unusual at all for European artists to study elsewhere in Europe at the time, or even now). Suggesting a preliminary alternate below instead:
- ALT1 ... that Maxim Berezovsky is thought to have been the first Russian or Ukrainian to write an opera or a violin sonata?
- The article has several interesting facts about him, which can probably be used for hooks too. I'll come back in a bit to propose additional suggestions. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:43, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Here are some more possible ALTs:
- ALT2 ... that after composer Maxim Berezovsky's death, Catherine the Great secretly ordered the papers in his rooms to be burnt?
- ALT3 ... that a symphony by 18th-century composer Maxim Berezovsky was only performed publicly for the first time in 2003? (this is not currently directly stated in the article, I'm only proposing this wording for brainstorming purposes)
- ALT4 ... that according to conductor Kirill Karabits, both Russians and Ukrainians have equal claims to the legacy of composer Maxim Berezovsky?
- ALT5 ... that despite being considered one of the "Golden Three" of 18th-century Ukrainian classical music, much of Maxim Berezovsky's life is unknown for certain?
- ALT5a ... that despite being considered one of the "Golden Three" of 18th-century Ukrainian classical music, little is known for certain about Maxim Berezovsky?
- ALT6 ... that Maxim Berezovsky is considered one of the "Golden Three" of 18th-century Ukrainian classical music? (currently only mentioned, uncited, in the lede and thus would require a source)
- I'm not going to review the article, but I've read it and I've noticed that the tone of the article, particularly in the Works section, may be too laudatory in Wikipedia's voice, and that might need to be resolved. Asking from help from either 4meter4 or CurryTime7-24 in copyediting the article and perhaps fixing the article concerns, as well as further suggestions on hooks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the hook suggestions. Do you realise that the article (which is not by me) just passed a GA review? ... was written by an editor who brought composers to FA status, for example Artemy Vedel? I nominated because the author would not do DYK (which I can understand). I was dead tired when I nominated, so grabbed the first idea that hit me as unusual to not miss the deadline. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I like ALT1 best of the suggestions, but think it should be "and" between symphony and violin sonata, because it's thought for both.
- ALT1a ... that Maxim Berezovsky is thought to have been the first Russian or Ukrainian to write an opera and a violin sonata?
- I like that it clearly speaks of the claim "Russian or Ukrainian" and still gives an idea about his music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Here are some more possible ALTs:
Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for inviting me to suggest an ALT for this DYK nom. However, since I'm neither the one who improved the article to GA nor the nominator, I think it would be poor form for me to step on the toes of other editors. If this nomination continues to be at an impasse, though, please let me know and I'll do what I can. What I will mention is that the bit of copy-editing I did revealed some issues that ought to be resolved, especially in a GA article. A few parts raise concerns about WP:SYNTH, for example. An early instance occurs at the the conclusion of the first paragraph in the "Biography" section. Putting aside for the moment that the phrase "victim of the regime" is loaded terminology that should be avoided per MOS:LABEL, WP:IMPARTIAL, and WP:EPSTYLE, I discovered upon reading the cited source (which doesn't include the page number; it's 25) that it doesn't confirm the statement in the article. (Full disclosure: I'm proficient in Russian, but know zero Ukrainian. Even so, the languages are similar enough that I can generally grasp the meaning of Ukrainian; the difference to my eyes and ears being comparable to that between Spanish and Portuguese.) According to Shumilina, surviving evidence "disproves the idea that Berezovsky's lack of work and financial difficulties caused his suicide". She reaffirms this in the final paragraph of page 27: "An untimely death (not the result of suicide!) interrupted his creative work" ("Передчасна смерть (не внаслідок самогубства!) перервала його творчість"). —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 22:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- @Narutolovehinata5:: I'm bringing up the following because you asked, but let me state once more that I won't be contributing heavily to this article, aside from minor touch-ups. Among other things, there is a bit of a slant to the article. The "Sacred music" sub-section, for example, potentially misleads the reader into thinking that Berezovsky was chiefly or even solely a phenomenon of Ukrainian culture. His influence on Russian music, which for a time must've also been considerable, is never discussed. (It's worth noting that in Berezovsky's time, Russian and Ukrainian cultures were more blurrier and mutually porous concepts than today.) Some aspects are left unexplained as well. Because losses of manuscripts and tangible evidence of his life are recurring themes in this article, it would seem to imply that at some point Berezovsky's legacy experienced a decline into obscurity; a 1947 article by Vera Vasina-Grossman in Sovyetskaya Muzyka confirms this to be the case. (This is important, because the magazine was not only the preeminent musical academic journal in the RSFSR, but in all of the USSR, including the Ukrainian SSR.) After that, Berezovsky's name is mentioned a few more times in the magazine. In the 1960s, his life and work came to be recognized outside of musicological circles thanks to a book about the composer Josef Mysliveček by Marietta Shaginyan. She mentioned Berezovsky therein, lamenting the fact that his music was widely unknown at the time. This seems to have been the catalyst for a modest revival. By the 1980s, articles and studies on his music increase significantly; there were some first recordings and performances as well. None of this reception history is mentioned in this article. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 04:24, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @CurryTime7-24: Thanks for the direction to Vasina-Grossman's article; I've found it and I will add it as a source into the article. I'll also look to see if I can't find something more recent analyzing his contributions to Russian music.Jaguarnik (talk) 04:56, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- On second thought, if I found the correct article (Забытая повесть о русском музыканте, Forgotten Tale of a Russian Musician, Vera Vasina-Grossman, 1947]) then this article is almost useless for analyzing Berezovsky's legacy in Russia, because the great majority of it is devoted to analyzing a fictional tale of his life. Still, I'll try to find something about his contributions to Russian music. Either way, I don't think adding his influence in Russian music is necessary for the DYK hooks, but it is something that future editors can work on.Jaguarnik (talk) 05:08, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: ALT0 is, as noted, not interesting. Given the current brouhaha around "first" hooks, I think it best to eschew ALT1/ALT1a (the latter is also ungrammatical) because the provided citation is not ultra-reliable. The term "Golden Three" is not used in the article, so ALT5/ALT5a/ALT6 are out. I am not comfortable with ALT4, especially in the current political context, because I would like to see that statement come from a historian, not a conductor. That leaves ALT2 and ALT3, both of which are approved.

A quick peruse of List of Russian composers, Gerda Arendt, shows Timofiy Bilohradsky who studied in Dresden, Dmitry Bortniansky who studied in Italy, Catterino Cavos who came from Italy to Russia, and Yevstigney Fomin who studied in Bologna—all 18th century composers with surnames from the first six letters of the alphabet. QPQ done, so all approved. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:45, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29: I mean, the article does not explicitly state that the symphony was never performed before 2003, only implied. The article wording seems ambiguous to me: it says that the symphony was written in the 18th century but makes no explicit mention if it was performed back then or not. So at best, the accuracy of ALT3 based on the current wording is ambiguous. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:56, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- "Golden three" wasn't deleted, rather rephrased since I couldn't find anything actually calling the trio "Golden Three"; they were consistently called "the three great Ukrainian composers of the 18th century"; hooks can be rephrased to reflect this. Jaguarnik (talk) 02:16, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Rather, it's ambiguous if it had ever been performed before 2003, as in if it had been performed during Berezovsky's lifetime, or if it was a case of the symphony was written but never performed.

Interesting quality biography, on fine sources, offline and foreign sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I approve the hook but am not happy with saying only something about quantity. I am open to something less repetitive (200 novels seem impressive enough) which might include "historic" novels, or a title, or that he also illustrated, or that he wrote series in collaboration, or some biographical aspect. Your choice. In the article, I'd appreciate less sandwiching of text between images.

- Comment: I provided in-text attribution for the "daughter of our soil" part within the article; I'm not sure if I need to provide it within the hook as well. I provided two alternative hooks just in case, but Seychellois presidents describing Chang-Leng as important is hardly controversial.

New enough and long enough. DYK hook fact checks out (and yes, I can read Portuguese... Thanks, Spanish!). Side comment to BaduFerreira: I think intangible rather than immaterial cultural heritage would be a better translation and in line with the term in English. We have Intangible cultural heritage as an article, but it does not line up one-to-one with ptwiki because they split the concept and UNESCO's list into separate pages (thus the separate Wikidata items). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:54, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Sammi, Thank you for the review! I understand where you're coming from with this comment, but it seems to me that a Patrimônio Cultural Imaterial in Brazil is distinct from the UNESCO Intangible cultural heritage so linking to that article would be a little disingenuous. I'm hoping to find enough sources to get an article started for this concept to reduce future confusion between them, but I do appreciate your feedback. For that reason, I prefer to keep it as immaterial for the time being. Thank you again! BaduFerreira (talk) 05:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

QPQ: None required. |
Overall: Article was nominated within 7 days of creation. Unfortunately, it currently sits at 1,354 characters in prose and seems to be a stub, with all information crammed into the lead, so therefore it is too short to qualify for DYK. Earwig picked up an unlikely copyright violation of 1%. Nominator has less than 5 nominations so a QPQ is not required at this time. Should this pass, for a different variation of ALT1, I suggest, ALT2: "... that Three Girls Revitalizing Asia is credited with assigning a girl group member a representative role seen in modern Japanese idol culture?" lullabying (talk) 05:47, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
