Everything looks right, but QPQ must be provided in order to pass. Jaespinoza (talk) 20:49, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

QPQ has been provided. Can someone please recheck this nomination—"everything" doesn't go into any detail of what was reviewed (sourcing? close paraphrasing?), which is of concern. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:37, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough (created/nominated 9 Jan), QPQ checked by BlueMoonset. But problems: 1. Hook fact is not in the article. It is in the Hurriet source, but not in the wikipedia article. The hook fact needs to be in the article.Note: is in the article, my mistake. 2. The paraphrasing is a little too close for my comfort. From the Hurriet article: "Çarkçı began her career as a soloist with the Azuncena role in Il Trovatore, which was exhibited at the Istanbul State Opera and Ballet in 1988 and was appointed to the soloist staff of State Opera and Ballet in 1990 due to her success in the following works" The wikipedia: "Jaklin Çarkçı started her career as a soloist for the Istanbul State Opera. She had her first role as Azuncena for Giuseppe Verdi's Il trovatore in 1988. She was then appointed as part of the soloist staff of the State Opera Ballet." The alteration is largely cosmetic, making this close paraphrasing for me. I'll AGF with Turkish sources, but a general rewrite to make sure there is no close paraphrasing at all would make me happier. 3. One neutrality flag. The line "She is not only a musician but sees herself as a good example of contemporary Turkish women" isn't neutral and borders on promotion. The whole sentence should be framed as "she claims that she is not only..." or something that shows "We" aren't saying this about her, she is self-promoting. I will be too happy to give this a check when these are fixed. AbstractIllusions (talk) 17:58, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Original editor cleaned up the page and I copy edited some parts so that the close paraphrasing and neutrality issues have been resolved. Article is long enough, new enough, QPQ done, within policy, hook is cited in English-language source, and hook is short enough. AbstractIllusions (talk) 16:56, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
