 * I have struck ALT1 as trivial and unrelated to the subject – it is basically saying "did you know that this woman worked with this man who had a couple of famous relatives?" 97198 (talk) 05:51, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New, in time, long enough, sourced, hook citation checks out (added an inline citation), no apparent copyvios (added quotation marks to one sentence, but is PD), QPQ done. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:33, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Between quotes and material copied from other Wikipedia articles (which doesn't seem to have been properly attributed?), there is not enough original prose for this article to qualify. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:12, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Usernameunique: not sure that I like what has been implied, everything that is in the article is rightly sourced. If I cite wikipedia some editor said I cannot do that, if I cite the original source, some other editor said I should cite wikipedia... at this point I bow out and please withdraw also this DYK. Elisa.rolle (talk) 14:44, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * See WP:CWW. It's not citation but attribution that is needed. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:11, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * still I would prefer to withdrew this DYK. Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:00, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * What is the material that has been copied from other WP articles? Counting merely the material which has not sourced to the PD text incorporated within the article, I get 1,513 characters (not including the boxed quotations). Unless I'm missing something, this article is not far off from approval. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:29, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Certainly the content regarding the Cadmus family; you'd need to ask her whether there is more. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:58, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This sentence "Egbert Cadmus was the father of Paul Cadmus, American artist best known for his egg tempera paintings of gritty social interactions in urban settings, and Fidelma Cadmus, who married Lincoln Kirstein, a philanthropist, arts patron, and co-founder of the New York City Ballet." is just a summary of what you have on the Paul Cadmus's page and I actually cited the right source, that is the obituary of Egbert Cadmus in the New York Times. Notice that nor the Paul Cadmus's page, nor the obituary is stating that Egbert Cadmus is the illustrator of Nirdlinger's book, which is an info instead that I found in another source. As I said, they told me not to cite wikipedia but to cite the right source. But again, Usernameunique, I would prefer to withdraw this DYK, I do not want to engage in this trial.

, with respect for your preference, I think with a little bit of effort (which I am prepared to put in), this article will be good to go. I realize that the process of some of you nominations must be frustrating (and editing in a second language can't make it easier!), but they are certainly welcomed, and help add information on otherwise underrepresented demographics on Wikipedia (turn of the century female and gay individuals in particular). , I have changed some of the wording of the language in question, and added some more prose to the article to ensure that the 1,500 character requirement is in no danger. Though the article takes from a number of sources, and incorporates text both in the public domain and on Wikipedia, the combined effect is substantial—and contains over 1,500 characters of original prose. Unless you have any objections, I think it is appropriate to re-approve the nomination. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 03:24, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Haven't rechecked prose count at this point, but could the attribution issue please be addressed first? See WP:CWW. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:46, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks —interesting page, didn't know intra-WP attribution was a thing! I've rephrased parts of it, and shortened a portion, so that the attribution should no longer be necessary (now it contains information from those pages, but not prose). --Usernameunique (talk) 05:30, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Usernameunique: thank you, that was my understanding too. A DYKHousekeepingBot said that I have to do something on this DYK, but I think that I cannot do nothing else right? It has to be reviewed by someone. Elisa.rolle (talk) 11:04, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * , I think removed the nomination from prep, but did not place it back on nominations page. I have just re-added it. --Usernameunique (talk) 13:21, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Meant to say that did that. Sorry for the confusion. --Usernameunique (talk) 13:24, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Aarrgh. I wish the bot would automatically return pulled hooks to the noms page. Yoninah (talk) 22:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (created and nominated on 8/7); long enough (Note, I've always just used the DYK check tool to check this; I didn't know public domain text didn't count! I paraphrased some of the PD text so it could be counted); neutral; cites sources inline; copyvio unlikely, per Earwig; hook format OK, interesting enough, checks out (using the two cited sources in the body of the article), and is neutral; QPQ done; image is free, used in the article, and looks OK as thumbnail. --MopTop (talk) 17:19, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Even if the Cadmus content is commented out, attribution is still needed, and it looks like material was copied also from Guardian Angel Settlement Association. Instructions for corrected missed attribution can be found at WP:RIA, but please also identify any other articles from which content was copied. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:47, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Usernameunique: I state it again, I do not wish to engage in this trial. Elisa.rolle (talk) 13:06, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * To clarify, this needs fixing whether the article ends up a DYK or not; CWW is a project-wide guideline. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:43, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Done (deleted the whole sentence), now the hook and the article has no issue. And the Cadmus section does not need citation to the page since the topic fact (Cadmus being the illustrator of Nirdlinger) is not the other page, and the other info are retrieved from the Cadmus obituary (that is the main result if you search for that topic). --MopTop: if you wish you can restore (again) you approval. Now please, stating again, do not involve me anymore in this trial. Elisa.rolle (talk) 13:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg I hope that Elisa.rolle is using "trial" to mean "review" (in which case it doesn't convey what is meant), rather than in the sense of "being on trial" as in brought before a court of some sort. The latter sense is one that is inappropriate here at Wikipedia: we are all working to make articles better within the guidelines particular to this encyclopedia, and I see no evidence here that this is not being done in good faith. The thing is, if there are copyright issues, external to or within Wikipedia, they must be dealt with. We all learn procedural matters like this when we write for Wikipedia, and adjust things as needed. In this case, I think it's best to close the nomination, since Elisa.rolle wants nothing more to do with it. If there are issues remaining with the article, they can be posted to the article's talk page. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:13, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
