Edith Hirsch (economist)

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that Edith Hirsch, a female economist, frequently had to publish under her husband's name?

• Comment: My first article; I submitted it to AfC before it was created today.

Created by Origamite (talk). Self-nominated at 11:37, 2 April 2015 (UTC).

• Good first article. I feel like it can be expanded (which would be my only concern about the article), but for what's there: no copyvio problems, sufficient inline citations, and reliable sources. The hook is cited. The article was created on March 11, but it was moved to the main space on April 2, the same day it was nominated. No QPQ? Mchuedem (talk) 19:57, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Mchuedem: I checked; the prose size tool says that there are about 1,700 readable characters, which is sufficient, I think. As for reviewing, this is my first, and WP:DYK says Exception: If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ. Is that wrong? Origamite^ⓣⓒ 20:09, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

I saw this was your first article. I just wasn't sure if you had nominated other articles in the past for DYK (regardless if they were written by you)...? But otherwise it should be fine. Mchuedem (talk) 20:11, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

@Mchuedem:No, I've never nominated another DYK. Origamite^{ⓣ ⓒ} 20:12, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

This nomination is gtg! Mchuedem (talk) 20:19, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

• The source says "sometimes", not "frequently". The additional explanation that you wrote in the artice, about "ensuring that her work was properly received", does not appear in the source and should be backed up by another citation, or deleted. Yoninah (talk) 19:01, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

• Oh, okay; give me a bit of time to fix it, okay? Origamite^ⓣⓒ 15:50, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
• @Yoninah: I wrote a new hook, cited to source 2:
• ALT1: ... that Edith Hirsch met her husband at Albert Einstein's wife's house?
• Origamite^ⓣⓒ 16:02, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you, that's a better hook. On first glance, though, it looks like Einstein and his wife were living apart. I corrected the wording from the source, which explains that it was her family's house. How would you like to word it?
• ALT2: ... that German-American economist Edith Hirsch met her husband at the family home of Albert Einstein's wife?
• ALT3: ... that German-American economist Edith Hirsch met her husband at Albert Einstein's wife's childhood home? Yoninah (talk) 17:03, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

• Personally, I like Alt3 better. Thank you for giving me the option. Origamite^ⓣⓒ 17:35, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

• Great. Since I just tweaked your ALT1 hook, I'll go ahead and approve this. Hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT3 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:22, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
