Diana Tishchenko

Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 12:05, 26 May 2022 (UTC).

  • Nominated just on time, long enough, no copyvios. Mostly well-sourced, but as far as I can tell the first sentence in the Career section (which includes her place of birth) has no source and I think this should be addressed. Hook is within the criteria and somewhat interesting, but I feel like it's a little long to be hooky. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 12:40, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
    The details about her early life were added by an IP, who seems to know the artist well. We can accept it in good faith, but possibly not for DYK. Do you think it should be reverted at least until DYK is over? ... keeping in mind that it's just details about the person, not wild claims that would absolutely need verification? - In the hook, we could drop the Chausson but that may be the one item readers know already. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:15, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
    I guess it depends on how strictly you interpret WP:BLP, but if I recall correctly things like date and place of birth is considered sensitive info and should be removed on sight if unsourced. I guess the other info could be okay for meeting BLP requirements, although I'd personally prefer to see a source for that as well. For the hook, currently it is two facts in one: that she's a Rising Star, and that she played at Kulturpalast. Maybe it would be better to mention just one of those things? I"m not at all an expert in these kinds of things, but I feel like that would keep it more focused. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 01:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
    I'll do what I can for the birth year. - Hook: Being a "rising star" gives her stature, but is not unique to her. I always like to say something about the music a musician plays. While Kulturpalast is not needed, it makes a difference to play in a big city's largest hall vs. some church of a minor town. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:54, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
I agree with Jochem's point that the hook would probably work better if it focused on a single fact. Probably just focus on the Rising Star thing? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:58, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
@Jochem van Hees: ALT1 ... that the Ukrainian violinist Diana Tishchenko was a Rising Star of the European Concert Hall Organisation in 2020/21? How's this? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:27, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
I think that looks good. Sorry for not replying earlier, life got in the way. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 10:58, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
I have reopened the nomination for further discussion of the hook per the DYK talk page. SL93 (talk) 11:51, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

From that discussion:

How is this?

And if that's too long, cut the Rising Star glitter:

Or compromise:

The concert tour and its meaning are already covered with the orchestra, and the conductor, and don't need to be repeated in every soloist's bio. Right now, everybody will know what Kyiv stands for, and that a tour of its musicians is exceptional, and music from there should be heard. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Among the options I think I think ALT2a is the best option here. There was some loose consensus that Rising Star and Melody should not be mentioned in the same hook, and since ALT2a focuses on Melody alone, it's probably for the best to work with that. Now normally I don't support "performer performing work" hooks, but I think the added context of a Ukrainian going with a Ukranian orchestra on a foreign tour does add interest. I'm almost ready to approve ALT2a; I'd just like to suggest that the year (2022) is specified instead of simply "April" since mentioning the month without the year adds ambiguity.

Really, you think people might think of a different year than 2022 if no year is mentioned? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:44, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
It's to future-proof the hook. It's not always clear what year a month is in. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:46, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Do you think anybody will read the hook after DYK day without the connection (in the archive and on the talk page) when it appeared? - Nevermind, obliged 4 times. It's not one of the things making me sad. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:47, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. Approving ALT2a only. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:27, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
