Edith Unnerstad[edit]
- ... that Swedish author Edith Unnerstad, aged 11, wrote her first book for a sister who had been hospitalized with scarlet fever?
Created/expanded by Slp1 (talk). Self nom at 20:39, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- I reviewed Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester.Slp1 (talk) 21:20, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Article is new enough, long enough and is neutral, but I have a couple of issues:
- First of, the hook should be backed up be an inline citation: The hook fact must have an inline citation right after it, since the fact is an extraordinary claim; citing the hook fact at the end of the paragraph is not acceptable.
- There is a citation needed tag in the article, could you find a source for this?
- I would like this article to have a short lead, and a "Biography"-section or something similar. (and maybe even an infobox) If you don't want to split the prose into sections, you should get rid of the Table of Content.
Looking forward to continue the nomination when these issues have been solved. Mentoz86 (talk) 02:03, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've added the citation tags you requested. It seems overkill from a reader's perspective, but whatever. The sentence with the citation needed tag is information that comes from the Swedish WP article about this woman, which is unsourced. I haven't been source this specific fact to date, though it seems likely to be true based on other information about where she lived that I have been able to find. It is important to mark it as needing confirmation, but it would be too bad to remove the information while the article is still in development. Thanks also for your suggestions about the layout of the article. I'll take a look at it shortly, but is this really a part of a DYK review? --Slp1 (talk) 11:49, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- Great. Reading through both the English and the Swedish article, I found out that the Swedish article uses this as source. Gården såldes i juni 1908 och de flyttade till moderns lilla stuga på Åland. (Familjen bestod då av 7 personer). I don't think it's a RS, but atleast it's something. The layout suggestions isn't really a part of the DYK review, but I thought that the TOC was a little misplaced in the previous state of the article. Mentoz86 (talk) 08:49, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

I've added the citation in question, so this one is good to go. Mentoz86 (talk) 09:03, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
