Zielony Balonik

[edit]
(

Entrance to Jama Michalika, the location of the Green Balloon (Zielony Balonik) cabaret in Kraków

  • ... that the neo-romantic literary cabaret Zielony Balonik (entrance pictured) from Kraków was rumoured to be a place of "orgies, nude dancing and all manner of dissipation"?

  • Date, size, picture license okay, article is sufficiently referenced. No plagiarism from the available English ref. Removed some overlinking from the hook and added what is pictured there. The Google Books pointer does not work for me, I only get the cover page. I am a bit worried that I only get Wikipedia results for the quote in article and hook, orgies, nude dancing and all manner of dissipation. Although not in double quotes, the italics formatting of this statement indicates to me that it should be a word-for-word quote from the indicated book. Can the creator please clarify? --Pgallert (talk) 08:15, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review, Pgallert. I redefined the link to Google Books with a direct quote highlighted in yellow. And yes, it needs to be cited word-for-word and marked accordingly (double quotes would probably look confusing, given the nature of the subject, that's why the passage is italicized). I also expanded a bit on the background info. — A. Kupicki (talk) 17:57, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • No matter what I do, I cannot get any glimpse in to this Google book. Happened to me before, probably due to my funny location. From my point of view therefore "only" an offline-AGF-tick. --Pgallert (talk) 19:56, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Just wanted to weigh in to confirm the quote does turn up in Google Books for this American user. I had no idea Google censored in Namibia. I thought that only happened with Google China. OCNative (talk) 03:32, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
  • Google results are heavily dependent on geolocation. Maybe they think they're not going to sell many books to Namibia, anyway. --Pgallert (talk) 07:14, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
  • The MOS does not allow italics in this context. It should either be double quotes or no quotes. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:29, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Changed the italics in the hook to a proper quote. --Pgallert (talk) 08:43, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

[od] Just to reiterate, this DYK is good to go, comments after the tick above have been resolved, or do not question the article readiness. With OCNative's confirmation I am ready to upgrade the "verdict" from a grey tick to a green one. --Pgallert (talk) 07:14, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
