... that Walter von Pückler earned the nickname Dreschgraf ("the Thrashing Count") due to his frequent use of violent, antisemitic language? Source: Deutsch, Gotthard; Mannheimer, S. (1905). "Pückler-Muskau, Walter, Count". In Singer, Isidore; et al. (eds.). The Jewish Encyclopedia. Vol. 10. New York: Funk & Wagnalls. p. 266.
Overall: Article is new and long enough, hook interesting and cited. Only issue is the similarity to the source mentioned above, should be good once that's resolved. Also - not 100% necessary for DYK - some prose on his death would be good to add as well. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 22:09, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
@PCN02WPS: Thanks for the review! The volume of the Jewish Encyclopedia in question was published in 1905 and is in the public domain, so there should be no copyright issues. Ploni💬 22:16, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Ploni: right, not sure how I missed that. We're good to go! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 22:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
- Several parts very similar or word-for-word with the Jewish Encyclopedia source (see Earwig), so some re-wording would be good.
