Internet intermediary

(

)

... that Internet intermediaries include not only internet service providers (ISPs), but also search engines and social media platforms?

Length and history OK. However, that long last graf appears to be copypasted from this UNESCO report. I realize that that document is licensed as CC-BY-SA-3.0, so I'm not going to call it copyvio ... but that "BY" provision means it needs to be properly attributed at the very least, which it isn't right now. In fact, I'd strongly recommend that you rewrite it with an eye toward summarizing it because as it is, it's just another wall o'text that most people will just glide right past.

I have added a cite; since it is BY I don't feel the need to summarize it further. It's relevant, I think. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:21, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I put the quote in a box and formatted it to make it more readable. Good to go. Daniel Case (talk) 14:48, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Comment: For DYK purposes you need 1500 characters of original text; text copied verbatim from a free source doesn't count. (see rule 2b). I'm getting 1467 characters excluding that text, and a lot of that is quoting the OECD source and/or a list formatted as prose, so it's kind of borderline.

If there are only 1467 non-copied characters, then it's too short, and needs to be expanded with original material. Superseding the approval now, so it doesn't get pulled from prep later. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

FWIW, the only original sentences in the UNESCO section are the first one, and the last sentence of the third paragraph. Formatting the list in the Definition section as an actual list brings down the character count to about 800. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 23:22, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Piotrus was pinged on his talk page on July 2; the notification has been archived without any action, so I'm marking this for closure as not meeting DYK requirements as it's far too short to qualify. I'll let someone else close this; maybe the article will be improved before the nomination is formally rejected. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:10, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
