 * I have now reviewed this DYK? nomination: Template:Did you know nominations/Kayu ura Futurist110 (talk) 03:32, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Waiting for hook to be revised, and potential copyright violations to be addressed. Good luck. :)--Coin945 (talk) 07:48, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I am reviewing this nom.
 * The article was created within 7 days of the nom and the prose is over 1500 characters.
 * Article has a "violation likely" on copyvio report - all from Yivo Encyclopedia. Please consider revising some passages in your own words to avoid accusations of copyright violations down the track.
 * Hook is a little confusing. I originally read it as "He would only reject the offer if he was also allowed to convert to Christianity". Please consider revising for increased clarity. Content of hook is fine and interesting.
 * QPQ has been completed.
 * Can you please show me the copyvio report for this Wikipedia article? Basically, I want to see this report with my own two eyes. Also, I'll come up with a new hook for this article very soon. Futurist110 (talk) 01:23, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Certainly! DYK uses a tool called Earwig's Copyvio Detector. This is its report.--Coin945 (talk) 04:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

 * ALT2: ... that Russian-Jewish banker Avraam Zak received an offer to become deputy finance minister of Russia on the condition that he convert to Christianity? (because of the choice of "received" instead of "rejected", it's much clearer now and you don't need those extra words for clarification.--Coin945 (talk) 04:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Both of those alt-hooks are fine with me! Also, based on that report above, it appears to state that a copyright violation is unlikely; thus, are we now good to go for this? Futurist110 (talk) 21:51, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
