The vulture and the little girl

[edit]

  • ...that in 1993, Kevin Carter clicked photo of a famine-stricken African toddler while a vulture lurked her so that it can eat her. Fate of the child still unknown & Carter committed suicide in 1994?

  • Comment for bot review: All paragraphs are properly cited. Why bot reported lack of citation was the use of quotes. Two citations are provided at the end of quote. There is no copyright violation since the possible violation reported is the quotation, which is presented verbatim. As far as the picture is concerned, human review is required if the DYK can be counted as "another article". Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 04:15, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment Hook makes little sense, and the article needs significant copyediting too. Edwardx (talk) 19:19, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Reply. Edwardx I think the hook is very clear and self-explanatory. Please suggest ALT 1 if you are not clear with the hook. Also, why copyedit? Whats wrong with the prose? Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 08:27, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment. Edwardx, are you reviewing this DYK or just made an observation? Please clarify because another reviewer will not review this DYK assuming you are reviewing this entry. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 08:29, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Just commenting. ALT1 added. Edwardx (talk) 11:39, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your suggestion. Since this was just a comment, full review of this DYK has to be done by another user. Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 12:25, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Copyedited ALT1, and struck ALT0 as unintelligible. EEng 07:19, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks E, are you reviewing this DYK? If yes then is there anything else that needs to be done? What is the status of this DYK, pass of hold? Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 07:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, like EdwardX I'm just passing through. Be patient -- reviews sometimes take weeks. EEng 07:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Full review needed by human reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:37, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The image has a fair use rationale and I believe that precludes it from appearing on the front page. ALT1 is cited inline, and I have added ALT1b so as to better relate the date of the suicide to the incident. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The article does not currently need copyediting in my opinion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

  • While half of the above have been addressed, half have not, and remain in the article well over two weeks after this was pointed out; the talk-page notification has since been archived. Marking for closure; close paraphrasing is a very serious matter, and should have been comprehensively addressed right away. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:46, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
