Simone Téry edit
- ... that Simone Téry was reputedly the only journalist to ever interview the Irish revolutionary Micheal Collins? Source: "Téry is reputed to have been the only journalist, French or otherwise, to have ever interviewed Collins."[1])
Created by Meanderingbartender (talk). Self-nominated at 11:32, 6 May 2018 (UTC).
5x expanded within the seven days preceding the nomination, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. Meanderingbartender, inserted the word "reputedly" into the hook to match the source and the article. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:04, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- the word "reputedly" should not appear in the hook, as it is a WP:WEASEL word, and is not attributable to anyone. Who did the reputing? The source is also slightly questionable, being an essay by a PhD student on the National Library of Ireland's blog. There seems to be a better source at [2], although this does not assert that she was the *only* journalist to interview him, just one of very few. Might I suggest rewording the article and the hook to reflect the verifiable assertion that she was one of very few? — Amakuru (talk) 10:14, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
- My first question, is why did it take 36 hours with no notification at at all that the hook had been pulled until this nomination was reopened? Secondly, who decided to pull the hook and was there any discussion about it? Meanderingbartender (talk) 17:29, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
