A fact from Anna Haifisch appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 October 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that cartoonist Anna Haifisch(pictured) has been "bend[ing] the rules of comics"?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
The article is a new translation and plenty long enough. There are a variety of issues with the content that need tidying up. For a start, the year and place of birth are unreferenced, which is a violation of WP:BLPPRIVACY. Either you find sources or you must remove those details. I noticed a mixture of British and American English; settle on one (personally, I would use British English but it's entirely up to you). The list of print media at the end of the section "Life and career" should all be shown in italic font. Same with the newspaper's part of the title Los Angeles Times Book Prize. In the section "Selected publications", the last three entries need either the ISBN number added, or a reference, or removed from that list. Otherwise, the referencing is fine. The article is neutral. Earwig is clean. With regards to the hook fact, you quote “but the protagonist does have a lot in common with me in terms of temperament.” (you need to use square quote marks, by the way, not curly ones), you need to point me to where it says that in the source as I can't see it. The hook is interesting (to me, at least). Should others have issues with interestingness, there are certainly plenty of other good hooks possible. I won't be able to sign off on the image, I'm afraid. It says that it's supplied by the subject (ok, fine, she could have used a tripod, however unlikely that is, though) but the uploader is not the subject. It therefore needs to go through the Volunteer Response Team before it can technically be used. QPQ has been done. All in all, there's a wee bit of tidy up work to do but it shouldn't take you long, Munfarid1. Schwede6605:13, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note I've nominated the image for deletion. There are other images on Commons that could be used and I'm happy to check licensing if you'd like to swap something else in. Schwede6605:18, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @User:Schwede66, thanks for your close review. I have taken care of all the issues you pointed out and changed the picture. As most sources give Leipzig and 1986 as her POB and DOB, I have changed that and added a source for this in the lead. (I am not aware that this would have to be repeated in the infobox now, but if so, please let me know.) I did not see any inconsistencies between British and American English in the text, and would prefer to leave it as is. (Again, if you see any, please let me know.) - Also, I have added the correct source of the quote, and apoligize for the mistaken source that you rightly pointed out. Munfarid1 (talk) 11:09, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"travelled" and "colour" is British English (traveled; color), while "characterized" and "organized" is American English (characterised; organised). Which one shall it be? I had fixed the quotation marks for you as the manual of style requires us to use square marks (") but you changed it back to something else (″). Whilst not the most important issue at all, we might as well get it right. The licensing of the new image is fine, but the lighting is suboptimal. ALT0 is now referenced. Not sure how I managed to overlook the other two hooks. I’m not sure about ALT1; there’s a bit of synthesis going on. ALT2 is fine. Schwede6617:23, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I wasn't aware that you had changed the quotation marks and understood that I should change them. Actually, I used the special character in WP drop-down menue, and only now read that this is not what MOS requires. So I just changed this again to square marks. - As to the spelling of -ize, this is not exclusively American, but also Oxford spelling and accepted by many British, Commonwealth and international organizations, as well as by MOS:IZE. - I hope this will sort out any doubts on your part for the go-ahead of this DYK.

Good to go. I had never read MOS:IZE; good to learn something. Good work. Schwede66 03:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
