General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Biggest problem is possible copyvio. Second biggest problem is QPQ needed. Once that's fixed, we can look at ALT1, the most interesting hook here. Festucalextalk 06:08, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Festucalex: I think the copyvio issues relates to the quote. QPQ is being done FuzzyMagma (talk) 00:05, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@FuzzyMagma: Waiting for you to do the QPQ. Meanwhile, I'll ping @BorgQueen for advice on the copyvio situation, because it's indeed the quote that's tripping earwig up. This is only my second ever review, I'm not entirely confident in ignoring the 44.8%. Festucalextalk 05:16, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the article will need a bit of rewriting. @Nikkimaria: care to take a look? BorgQueen (talk) 15:13, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BorgQueen: maybe you did that already, but would it possible for to click on "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" and see if "a bit of rewriting" is still warranted. FuzzyMagma (talk) 15:44, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks OK now, after I've copyedited it myself. BorgQueen (talk) 16:30, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BorgQueen: So, just for the sake of my own elucidation, the next time I review a DYK and face this problem, I just copyedit the article myself? Festucalextalk 17:18, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Festucalex: not to overstep, but if you can copy edit the text of an article, that is always good (at least that is what I do). But if it’s beyond repair you can just tag it and ask the promoter to fix it. As for this specific case, you can go through the edit history in the article and see what BorgQueen did, which basically reducing the size (while keeping the core message) of the quotation to address your concerns about copyvio 19:25, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT1 needed some slight tweaking as I feel like it was not worded just right. I have made the hook mirror the article text without changing the intent.
  • ALT1a: ... that El-Tigani el-Mahi pioneered studies on magic and zār and their relationship to mental health? Perhaps @Ravenpuff: can help tweak further while it is in Prep? Bruxton (talk) 15:17, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
