Talk:Taste of Summer

COI?

I created this page amalgamating the Taste of Tasmania and Hobart Summer Festival pages. I do not wish to further expand as I am an employee of Hobart City Council and work on the event; I therefore wish to avoid COI issues. Happy to provide additional information if others wish to expand the page. mjec ^(t/c/p) 23:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Dear mjec! Thank you for your work in creating this article (Taste of Tasmania). One of my students wished to expand the article but as the event was decommissioned and the "Taste of Summer" seems to have replaced it, would you mind helping her to combine the pages (perhaps even incorporating the Hobart Summer Festival pages if you think that best)? I understand if you don't have time and I can help her but I like to encourage students to communicate and collaborate with the Wikimedia community rather than direct the changes. Fransplace...

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Lautreca11: I copy-edited the article. As a tip, refer to WP:SEAOFBLUE, we don't normally link common words or countries. A newly expanded article that is long enough. The article uses sources sources I cannot access, so I am going to assume good faith. The ones available are okay and mention what it is sourced. The picture is clear and free. No QPQ required; this is the first nomination. I am not approving it due to three queries. 1st: sourcing; I added a citation needed tag, that's the only issue. 2nd: neutrality, several sentences are written as promotion sentences written in a WP:Wikivoice tone: For example: "By having a strong main theme and a high profile, the festival is popular and relevant to locals who support this event with their community energy" or "The Taste of Summer highlights the region local produce". It is not the same as saying this: "According to The Writer / The Source, [text]", "The Writer / The Source considers that [text]". I recommend you to re-read the article as if you were the reader rather than the writer and identify these sentences and quotes and attribute them to the source." 3rd: the hook. It is not directly mentioned in the article, even though it is implied, it is part of the rules: "The facts of the hook need to appear in the article with a citation no later than at the end of the sentences in which they appear."

• @Lautreca11: any update on the third point? (CC) Tbhotch^™ 03:59, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

• Dear Tbhotch, thanks for your message. My final submition was on the 24th so I am not sure if I can do anything else while I receive my mark. Anyway, do I have to submit a new DYK or is it possible to edit the initial one?

• @Lautreca11: Sorry for the late response, this page got lost on my watchlist. As a tip, you can see the template {{ping}} and the editor so they can be notified. Back to the review, I re-reviewed the article, but point three above is still missing. The hook reads: Did you know that there is a seasonal festival in Tasmania that has received yachties from all around the world for the New Year's celebrations for more than 30 years? The article doesn't establish this automatically, you can assume it if you read the whole page. For example.

• "Did you know that there is a seasonal festival in Tasmania" → The Taste of Summer Festival, previously known as the Taste of Tasmania, is an annual event held in Hobart, Tasmania
• "that has received yachties" → One of its main goals was to entertain the competitors of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race
• "from all around the world" → drawing in both locals and tourists from around the globe.
• "for the New Year's celebrations" → Hobart's waterfront is the place where New Year's Eve festivities are celebrated, including the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race
• "for more than 30 years" → Its origins back to 1988 when the Hobart City Council introduced it as part of the Hobart Summer Festival

• As we can read, this is implied, but the DYK rules require the hook to be present in the article and backed up by a source. We have multiple implications that do not necessarily back up the original hook. The all around the world statement is not mentioned anywhere (the word "world" is mentioned twice, but not in this specific context), and "for more than 30 years" is vague because the article doesn't establish that the Taste of Tasmania was the event "the Hobart City Council introduced it as part of the Hobart Summer Festival"; the infobox says that the Taste of Tasmania/Summer has been active from 2003 to 2024. You need to back up the hook in the article with a respective source. Otherwise, you need an alternate hook. You can leave alternatives below with a bolded ALT1, ALT2, etc. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 22:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• File:77th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race spectators.jpg is a terrible image. If you want to show the race, either File:Sydney-Hobart.jpg or File:Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2015.jpg would be far superior (with Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2015 being the better of the two).
