S. Dharmambal

[edit]
(
)

Created by Gfosankar (talk). Self-nominated at 14:40, 16 December 2018 (UTC).

General eligibility:

  • New enough: Yes
  • Long enough: No - meets length criteria, but has not be evaluated for quality and might be a stub (more likely start)
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - Three issues:
  1. I would want to insert the word "is" before honored: "...that Indian activist S. Dharmambal is honoured as heroic Tamil mother for her contributions to Tamil language?"
  2. Although the statement itself is sufficiently-cited, the article does not make clear what her contributions to the Tamil language are. I infer from the article that what is meant by her "contributions to the language" is that she was a proponent of Tamil-language education. I think that both the article and the DYK nomination would be stronger if that is spelled out more clearly, perhaps in the lead paragraph of the article.
  3. Only the first initial is given. Do we know her name?
  • Summary: The hook itself is very interesting and I would strongly support the nomination if the connection between her work and its summary were a bit clearer.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Kenirwin/(talk) 20:36, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

  • Do we need to wait for quality assessment? I don't think so.
  • Other issues
  1. ALT 1:... that Indian activist S. Dharmambal is honoured as heroic Tamil mother for her contributions to Tamil language?
  2. clarified in the article.
  3. clarified in the article's Talk page.
Thank you for the review. Gfosankar (talk) 14:04, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to see whether issues have been addressed; it's been a month. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:43, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
The second reference,erode memorial does not match any of the key words such as names and "devadasi". Other English language cites seem to check out. Long enough. It's new. I don't see QPQ but someone above has posted claiming they nominated the QPQ article. Adjusted hook (+"is") seems okay. I have gone and changed the second reference to one that passes the text, now it passes. ~ R.T.G 14:50, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
Argh! Tick redacted for the moment. I'm still on it even if not till later today. ~ R.T.G 13:34, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
It's all reffed in English language now, passed, checkY ~ R.T.G 13:57, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
@RTG:, did you mean to approve this nomination with the other green check mark --> {{subst:DYKtick}}? Flibirigit (talk) 21:03, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Yes, thank you. ~ R.T.G 00:36, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
as per RTG in the above comments. Flibirigit (talk) 01:22, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Flibirigit, bad review. Check my edits (and the edit-sums) from history. A lot of stuff is now, un-sourced.
Rejected, as of now. Needs improvements. ∯WBGconverse 10:00, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
While the article is still long enough, the Early life section now has no source citations at all, which is contrary to DYK guidelines. Some additional work will need to be done. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:46, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
Refs added. Gfosankar (talk) 16:37, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
  • I edited the article to conform with English grammar. However, the Activities section is using many foreign words and terms that make no sense to a non-Tamil reader. Could you define or explain these names and other terms? Yoninah (talk) 19:19, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Explained in the article. Gfosankar (talk) 13:37, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
  • @Gfonsankar: thank you, but the grammar still isn't clear. I tagged the word "sangam"–is there a link you could add for this? (Sangam directs to a disambiguation page.) Please also write this more coherently: especially for instigating Tamil desire among youth through student forum. Yoninah (talk) 17:32, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
  • I linked the article and tweaked the above sentence. Thank you. Gfosankar (talk) 16:44, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
  • @Gfonsankar: Thank you for fixing the link. Now, what does this mean: especially for promoting Tamil education to the youth through student forum? Are you talking about the Manavar Mandram mentioned in the previous paragraph? Then it should be: especially for promoting Tamil education to youth through the Student Forum. Yoninah (talk) 20:50, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Yes, same Manavar Mandram and I changed the sentence as you suggested. Gfosankar (talk) 02:18, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, we're all set. I added an infobox. I suggest writing the hook in the past tense, as the award was given over 60 years ago.
ALT1a: ... that Indian activist S. Dharmambal was honoured as a Heroic Tamil Mother for her contributions to the Tamil language?
  • Restoring tick for ALT1a per Kenirwin's review. Yoninah (talk) 11:29, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
