  • I've taken the liberty of proposing a rearranged ALT0a for reasons of grammar, as it was looking a bit breathless, and so that it ends with "Samuel Kummer" instead of "his own".
    ALT0a: ... that for his first recital as the organist of the restored Frauenkirche in Dresden, Samuel Kummer chose music by Bach, Brahms, Max Reger, Louis Vierne, and Samuel Kummer?
    --Launchballer 10:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
  @Gerda Arendt: This is the oldest fully unreviewed nom and I need a QPQ, so I'm reviewing. New enough, blurbless ITN notwithstanding, and long enough. Earwig has no valid complaints. Looking at ALT0a now, Reger and Vierne are lesser 'names' and I'd expect a more merciless prepbuilder to cut them, but I'll let them make that decision. Two things; as written, the 'Life and career' section would deserve {{subsections}} (and surely 'Personal life' comes under Life and career anyway), and single-sentence WP:PARAGRAPHs should be avoided - this should be reordered somehow.--Launchballer 22:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the review, Launchballer! I tried subheaders but am not happy, because it's impossible to be halfway chronological with groups, - help wanted. I know that single sentences should be avoided, but there is only one sourced sentence about his teaching, and it fits nowhere else. The single sentence about the award for the recording belongs to the preceding quote, - would you know a way to connect it (besides not using template quote)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
If I understand what a Bezirkskantor is correctly, then both the Kirchheim unter Teck and Frauenkirche sections could be merged. The Hochschule sentence could either be incorporated into the Personal life section or appended to the end of the first paragraph of Frauenkirche, though I can't see it in that source. Also, and I'm sorry I didn't say this earlier, but the lead could do with another sentence or two.--Launchballer 13:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Bezirkskantor, as the article explains, means regional church musician, responsible for the church music of a district. Frauenkirche, however, is one of the most prominent churches in the world - those two should not be merged. Hochschule has nothing to do with personal life. It can't be at the end of Frauenkirche, firstly because it has nothing to do with it, and began during the Frauenkirche time but lasted until his death. - I'll look at the lead. German leads always have just one sentence, and this is a translated (and then expanded) article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I looked, but would not know what details to add to the lead without placing undue weight on them. What would you like to read there? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
My mistake, I got hold of a Google Translated version of the .de article for Bezirkskantor, saw the phrase "church musician", and stopped reading. If I was writing this article, the lead would be as follows (and these are only suggestions):
Born in Stuttgart, he played concerts internationally, before becoming Bezirkskantor [de] in Kirchheim unter Teck from 1998 and then moving to the Frauenkirche in Dresden in 2005. He also recorded several works including a 2007 version of Louis Vierne's Organ Symphonies Nos. 3, which was awarded a Diapason d'Or, and a 2020 version of Bach's The Art of Fugue, which was awarded the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. He also lectured at the Hochschule für Kirchenmusik Dresden [de] from 2007 until his death.
and the Personal life section would read as follows:
Kummer died on 23 April 2024 at the age of 56. According to his family, he collapsed at Dresden Main Station on his way to teaching in Würzburg. At the time of his death, he was married to Irena Renata Budrytė-Kummer, and had been a lecturer for organ improvisation and literature play at the Hochschule für Kirchenmusik Dresden since 2007.
If there had been any coverage of the teaching before his death, then there'd be a bit more to say about it.--Launchballer 10:32, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the suggestions. As I tried to say before I believe that it would put undue weight on Kirchheim (which nobody knows), and on Vierne - why this one of the probably hundred composers whose music he played - and on awards. For a compromise, I put the awards into the infobox. - In the personal section, I'd like to mention the wife before the death, and the teaching not at all as nothing personal. For a compromise there, I moved the sentence to the chronology when it began. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:16, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Very nice article about I building which I often admired from the old commuter train Halkali - Sirkeci (and I thought it was the Armenian patriarchate... :-( ), and which I saw again last March after traveling for the first time on the new T6 line. I would say that the only thing that the article needs is a copyedit, and that the hook should explain where the building is: i propose the following version:

ALT1 ... that the Bulgur Palas (pictured) a historic mansion in Istanbul, takes its name from bulgur, wheat groats that the first owner traded?
What do you think about it?
Moreover, I would mention in the article that the mansion was home to canaries (this could be the subject of another interesting hook), and that was plundered during the Istanbul pogrom, but I leave these additions to you. Cheers! Alex2006 (talk) 08:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • ALT2 ... that the historic mansion Bulgur Palas (pictured) in Istanbul hosted a birdhouse for hundreds of domestic canaries in one room during its ownership by the Ottoman Bank? CeeGee 12:22, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Alessandro57: Thank you for your review and nice comment. ALT1 hook is better formulated. I've expanded the article according to your advice, and provided ALT2 hook. Please recheck. Who knows what notable buildings we pass by every day and don't know really about them. Cheers. CeeGee 12:22, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • There is absolutely no way this article can be passed on Main Page in the current state. It often uses a word-order that seems to reflect Turkish grammar, rather than English, and at time simply invents words ("aquiry" is one staring at us from the first sentences). I assure you that I sympathize with the creator, as code-switching between such vastly different languages must be a terrible ordeal. Dahn (talk) 12:56, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@CeeGee: thanks a lot for your expansion and for ALT2. @Dahn:, I agree with you that the article needs copy editing (that's why I asked for it), and I suppose the horrible language level is due to the author of the translation, who is not the nominator. I am the reviewer (and my native language is Italian), so I am not allowed to do that. CeeGee, do you think you can do it, or do we have to find someone else? Alex2006 (talk) 17:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Alessandro57 and Dahn: I will request copyediting by the GOCE. Let's see if the nomination can survive the two-month limit. CeeGee 04:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Dahn: A nice user copyedited the article. I ask you to recheck it. Please let me know if you don't complain anymore so that ı can remove my request from the GOCE, and the reviewer can proceed. CeeGee 10:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @CeeGee: Fine work. But I have some (additional) questions regarding the sourcing. For instance: "Due to the financial difficulties experienced by Habip Bey resulting from his arrest after the Armistice of Mudros in 1918 and his exile to Malta in 1919,[2] the construction could not be fully completed.[3]" How can reference [2] not cite the part referenced with reference [3], without this being a case of WP:SYNTH? Either that, or they both cite the second part of the phrase, in which case the referencing is unusually sloppy. Dahn (talk 19:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Dahm: The fact used in the article is below in original Turkish form. If needed, I can supply a Google translation:

“Mütareke döneminde Habib Bey, İtilaf Devletlerinin talebi doğrultusunda tutuklanarak Bekirağa Bölüğü 'ne hapsedilir.”, “Habib Bey daha sonra 1 yıldan daha fazla kalacağı Malta'ya sürgüne gönderilir.” [3] (ref #2)

“Bolulu Habib Bey de 20’likler listesinde Malta’ya sürülür. Malta’da kurulan mahkemede yargılanan Habib Bey, 20 Temmuz 1920’de hiçbir ceza almadan İstanbul’a geri gönderilir. Ancak bir süre sonra tekrar tutuklanır. Bu dönemde Habib Bey’in ailesi bankalara epeyce borçlanmıştı. Osmanlı Bankası’ndan alınan kredilerin faizi bile ödenemez duruma gelir. Bulgur Palas’ın inşaatı da bir türlü bitirilemez. “ [4] (ref #3)

CeeGee 05:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well that is precisely my point: the tidbit about the exile and how it left the house unfinished is verified by two (three?) sources, one of which also verified another fact. The citation of these facts was entirely chaotic, using just one of the sources for the fact, and giving the impression that two facts were pasted together. I tried to amend the references and syntax accordingly. Other parts of the article continue to have the same issue: "a room in the downstairs was reserved as a birdhouse for hundreds of domestic canaries,[4] which were probably raised to live in the branches of the Ottoman Bank.[2]" This gives the impression that source number [4] verifies the number of canaries, and source [2] discusses how they got there. But is this really the case? Dahn (talk) 06:32, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I don't understand what you mean with "But is this really the case?" Please specify more clear for me. CeeGee 10:15, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Dahn is asking whether it really is the case that source number [4] verifies the number of canaries, and source [2] discusses how they got there? TSventon (talk) 11:03, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Is there a need to know how the birds got there? I really cannot understand this question. It is mentioned that they were there. CeeGee 11:52, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @CeeGee: It's a style issue. The phrase uses two references, both of which presumably verify that canaries lived there. From how they are used, I gather that the first one specifies a fact not mentioned in the former: the (rough) number of canaries; presumably, the other one doesn't go into that level of detail, but specifies how they got there ("raised to live in etc."). Is this how the sources are used, or is this this another case of just randomly adding citations to various parts of a phrase? Dahn (talk) 19:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Dahn: Thank you for your attention. The citations were mismatched. I fixed it now. CeeGee 10:12, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @CeeGee: Not really. I verified myself, and it gets really weird: both sources actually cite both facts (the number of canaries, and how they got in the building), so prima facie it makes absolutely no sense to not add them both as citations to the end of the phrase (this is the "sloppy referencing" I mentioned -- I don't understand why anyone would play eenie-meeny with references, randomly picking out what source to use for what fact (instead of checking all sources, for all facts). But then, get this: at least in that portion of the text, both sources are identical, because one is a likely mirror of the other, or because they plagiarized each other. This makes it even more absurd: two identical references, one of which would have to be redundant, but each used to source a different fact. Dahn (talk) 10:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Dahn: are you happy for Alessandro57 to resume their review, or do you have further questions? TSventon (talk) 14:22, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @TSventon: The issue I raised above remains unaddressed by either the editor or the nominator (the latest edit simply switched the references around, which does not answer the objection). The weird use of sources/citations is prevalent in other parts of the article as well. Consider: "The building consists of five floors:[8] one cellar, three full floors and one half floor.[9]" How can source [9] not verify the fact verified by source [8], if it spells out the same number of floors? Dahn (talk) 14:27, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Dahn: I think your post on 8 May was probably read as a comment, which did not need an answer. Could you list the remaining problems, ping CeeGee and tell them what you want them to do?
The original version of the article as translated from tr Wikipedia said "It consists of three full floors and one half floor.[4]" CeeGee (I think) has expanded that to the current version, adding "one cellar", which is not mentioned by source [9]. I am unsure whether the half floor is a semi-basement or a mezzanine, the pictures suggest that the building has four storeys including the towers plus a semi-basement. TSventon (talk) 15:17, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @CeeGee: Please make sure your copyedit addresses the issues I raised above: the sources need to be used consistently, of the two sources with the exact same text (for the canary factoid) only once must be selected, the disagreement in sources regarding the number of floors needs to be noted (if this indeed what has happened there). In general: if a fact is verified by several sources, the usage of references needs to change. It's not: "my dog has four legs,[1] one of which is darker than the other three[2]", but either: "my dog has four legs[1][2]. One is darker than the other three[2]", or "my dog has four legs, one of which is darker than the other three[2]". Dahn (talk) 15:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • CeeGee, I have another query. The article says "It is claimed that the house, also called the Bolulu Habip Bey Mansion, was financed by the black market trade in grain and bulgur, a cracked wheat foodstuff, during World War I.[1]" This seems to be based on the opening lines of ref #1. However ref #2 and ref #3 via Google translate do not mention the black market. The quote from ref #1 looks like a political editorial comment, how did you decide it was more reliable than the accounts in ref #2 and ref #3?

"Bulgur Palace, which Habib Bey allegedly had built by selling bulgur on the black market during the war years, is opening to the public almost 100 years later. It is as if the history of the mansion is also the history of the country." [5] (ref #1) via Google translate.

An example from ref 2 "During this period, Mehmed Habib Bey, who was a Bolu deputy from the Committee of Union and Progress, made a great fortune from the grain and bulgur monopoly, and with the money he earned, he built the building, somewhat ironically known as 'Bulgur Palace' among the public."[6] (ref #2). via Google translate.

  • "İttihat Terakki Bolu Mebusu Habib Bey’in bulgur vurgunundan kazandığı paralarla yaptırıldığı için Bulgur Palas olarak anılan konağın ardında ise derin acılar yatıyor." [7] CeeGee 11:58, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • The article uses the term black market, i.e. trading that violates laws or rules. "bulgur vurgunundan" Google translates as bulgur profiteering, i.e. unethical but not necessarily illegal trading. That is an important difference in English, obviously the terms used in another language won't exactly correspond to those used in English. I would avoid black market unless I was sure it was justified. TSventon (talk) 12:13, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I won't oppose to you. It may be better to use "profiteering" or "fortune from unfair trade". I guess you can formulate it better in that soft way. CeeGee 05:25, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I would suggest the easiest thing is to leave out black market. The source doesn't explain why Habib Bey's trading was black market and only uses the word in an 21st century context, rather than in the section about Habib Bey. An alternative would be to explain the context in more detail, but I would find that difficult as I don't speak Turkish or know much about Ottoman economic history. TSventon (talk) 11:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Dahn: About the phrase with"canaries": I didn't know that difference in using references. Fixed it now. About the phrase with "floors": I tried to clarify it in two sentences. Please recheck. CeeGee 10:32, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • I'm sorry, CeeGee, but the way in which this article uses sources continues to be ridiculous. I fixed another such sophomoric use of the citations, but I'm bewildered by the sort of logic that went for instance in citing the very same fact, about Mogeri being the architect, twice in the text, each time with a different source. This is probably something that happened in other parts of the article, probably throughout -- judging from a quick glance at the text and the sources. I also noticed that several sources have authors clearly indicated in the link, yet they are not mentioned in the citation. I am sorry for burdening you with this task, but the article needs a deeper copyedit. Dahn (talk) 14:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • No problem as long as you have time. I tried to fix the "Mongeri"-issue. Since I cannot detect any others by myself, you may specify explicitly. CeeGee 08:32, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @CeeGee: Please accept my apologies for the delay. It appears that the issues were fixed, and also that I was dead wrong about the authors not being cited (probably because I was looking at an earlier version when trying to determine if the citations had been shifted around). Either way, this article has been greatly improved, and I extend my thanks to all those who have contributed their time and skill toward this goal. Dahn (talk) 10:03, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • @Alessandro57, Dahn, and TSventon: I thank you all very much for your time, contributions and cooperation to elevate the article to a higher level. CeeGee 10:38, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@CeeGee and Alessandro57: Article says "claimed that the house [...] was financed by the trade in grain and bulgur", hook says it definitely was. These are not the same thing.--Launchballer 17:37, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Earwig did flag copyright violation, but this was due to the large blocks of quoted text which have been properly attributed and are within policy. No close paraphrasing or copyright found, and the article appears to be within policy in all other measures. Hook fact and length both check out for the original and Alt1 hooks.

QPQ: Done.

Overall:   I don't see anything in the guidelines about QPQs needing to be done recently, but this one was done in 2021 and hasn't been used as a QPQ by the nominator before. If that's okay, then this nom is good to go. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:15, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Voorts, thank you for the review, I tried to do a few QPQs before I needed them and they have got rather old. Fortunately WP:QPQ says QPQs do not expire and may be used at any time for a future DYK nomination. TSventon (talk) 00:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Voorts and TSventon: I cannot confirm in any sources that this was the first known skeleton. Maybe first "complete" can be investigated if sources support? I do see a source for "Peale eventually founded the first natural history museum in the United States". But I do not know about the reliability of the source (czasopisma) - that can be investigated for a hook idea, or you can introduce a different hook. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Voorts and Bruxton: I was trying to put the hook in my own words and overdid the paraphrasing. When Semonin says the skeleton was complete I think he meant almost complete so I have reworded the article and the hook. Peale's museum as "the first natural history museum in the United States" is arguable, but would need more work. This argued it was not.

TSventon (talk) 23:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. It is difficult to find the hook because it is not explicit in the article. I did find the two parts to the hook in The Peale Mastodon section so ALT1 works. Bruxton (talk) 14:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
The hook is explicit but unreferenced in the lead, I could add a reference to the Smithsonian article there if that made things clearer. In the body one of the sentences was not immediately followed by a reference, so I fixed that.
By the way, on the first museum, I have seen things like the first successful public museum of natural history, but that would need to be discussed in the article and is not particularly hooky. TSventon (talk) 14:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   Not ready yet, nominator needs a QPQ. Also, how is the Aquinian reliable? 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 22:52, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • The Aquinian is the St. Thomas University (STU)'s student newspaper. Per WP:RSSM as well as general consensus through discussions cited by WP:RSSM, using student media sparingly is generally fine; sometimes it is the only option for certain details/facts, such as in this instance for a general assumption of the subject's age, his connection to the University, and a small detail in the creation process of his book.
I apologize if you find that The Aquinian seems disputed, but because WP:N and WP:GNG has already been established it should be alright using student media for small bits of the article, as this is an instance where better sources couldn't be found. (this only applies to articles whose subject is connected to the University of said student press, of course, in which this case Poitras is). If it helps, STU has a more "official" magazine where Poitras has a small mention here as a journalism professor, and is mentioned here in a third-party provincial newspaper interview with a STU journalism student.
I hope this addresses any concerns! QPQ will be finished soon. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 23:54, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Overall:   Article was nominated within a week of being expanded fivefold. Article coverage is neutral with the prose being consistently backed by reliable, high-quality sources formatted with inline citations. Earwig shows no copyright violations; top result only borrows spoken quotes. Though it's rather embarrassing to see as a Revs fan, ALT0 is unfortunately the most interesting hook out of the bunch, with ALT2 being second-best. All hooks are sourced and mentioned in the prose. No QPQ requirement necessary for this user. Here's to hoping the Revs can at least get the #1 draft pick next year... in the meantime, this nom is good to go!
