Defne Magnanery
- ... that the Defne Magnanery in Hatay, Turkey, was established to revive silk farming and to provide livelihood to women? Source: "Hatay'da geçmişi uzun yıllara dayanan ipek böceği yetiştiriciliği ve ipek dokumacılığı Defne Belediyesi tarafından açılan Koza Evi'nde yaşatılıyor. " (in Turkish) [1], "Kentte geçmişi uzun yıllara dayanan ipek böceği yetiştiriciliğinde önemli bir yere sahip olan sarı koza, kadınların geçim kaynağı olmaya başladı. " (in Turkish) [2]

Article is new enough, long enough, no close paraphrasing/copyvio concerns, including when compared with the Turkish sources. That being said, I am not convinced that the article tone is entirely neutral. At a couple of places it repeats the advertorial comments by the owners of this place to the press in Wikivoice: "produces silk of natural color yellow, which is also of higher quality", "it deserves preservation since it has natural color and is not widespread". The sources are clear that these aren't comments from neutral authorities but from the owners of the facility, so the article tone should be adjusted to reflect this - or preferably, these claims should be removed in the absence of external validation. I could verify the hook from the sources in the article but there are other bits in the article that appear to me as candidates for more interesting hooks e.g. the story of how her brother agreed to give her the house, touched upon in the article and detailed here, is possibly more interesting than the current hook. QPQ was done. --GGT (talk) 20:01, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for your in-depth review. I removed the phrase "widespread" according to your claim. I propose following ALT as suggeste dby you. Please recheck. CeeGee 08:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that the Defne Magnanery in Turkey was established in a farm house, which was donated by the brother of the head silk farmwoman after he watched her silk farming in a foreign documentary film? CeeGee 08:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
