Talk:Soheila Sokhanvari

Creation of this article

Most of this article was written at an editathon at Wolfson College, Oxford organised by the Khalili Foundation as part of the World Festival of Cultural Diversity. I did some tidying up, checking, and publishing of the new user's work in my capacity as the trainer and Khalili Foundation Wikimedian In Residence. MartinPoulter (talk) 15:58, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Moved to mainspace by MartinPoulter (talk) and Katy Shahandeh (talk). Nominated by MartinPoulter (talk) at 12:17, 14 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Soheila Sokhanvari; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Excellent work to all involved. The new article and hook are sourced appropriately. Length is good, as is copyright status. Hook is interesting. Again, well done. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

  @MartinPoulter and Pbritti: The second sentence of the lead is a near exact copy of the source: She is drawn to events and traumas that linger in the collective consciousness or cause mass amnesia and is particularly interested in the practice of magic realism, symbolism, and allegory that allows political and social commentary through poetry, metaphor and subtext. This is the only sentence I checked, but it's clear from this that the entire article will need to be checked for copyvio. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 22:06, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

  Corrected some of the issues in the lede but on second review I think that much of the text should be transformed into a list; we don't have enough characters here for a DYK if those sections are converted to a list. @MartinPoulter and Katy Shahandeh: I think this article needs a little more work but I think there is plenty available in reliable sourcing to properly expand the article. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:29, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

  The ping in the above message was malformed; pinging MartinPoulter and Katy Shahandeh again. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 08:25, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

  Looking further, I find that the contents of the sections "Exhibitions" and "Highlights and collections" are copied directly from this website. The earliest version of the "Education" section was copied from here; subsequent edits have somewhat hidden the extent of the copying. At this point, I think the article needs to be reduced to a stub and revdeleted. Martin Poulter, please be more careful when checking the work of editathon participants. By publishing an article to mainspace, you make yourself responsible for the contents. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 08:44, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

  I've stubbified the article; marking this nom for closure. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 09:12, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
