Miller Introduction to Judaism Program
edit- ... that the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program at the American Jewish University was declared one of the Ten Best Classes in Los Angeles by LA Weekly?
- ALT1:... that the Miller Introduction to Judaism Program at the American Jewish University has prepared thousands of people to convert to Judaism since 1986?
Created by Valley2city (talk). Self nominated at 07:54, 18 April 2013 (UTC).
Article is long enough and new enough and both hooks are referenced... though I can't find that precise wording in the ref for hook 1, and hook 2 should likely say "has prepared" since it seems to be still doing so. Nominator hasn't reviewed another article, but only has four prior DYK nominations. On the problem side, several paragraphs are completely unreferenced, and in general, the article needs more reliable references before it can be approved. Also, the structuring could use some work; it's not clear if the first paragraph is supposed to be a lead section or not. Sideways713 (talk) 10:27, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review. I went through the article again and referenced pretty much everything and removed whatever I couldn't quickly reference. I also reworked the opening section a little bit. I also added "has" to the the second hook as you suggested. As for the first hook there is a more graphical version of LA Weekly here where it has the whole magazine (the actual citation is on page 3). I wanted to link to the actual magazine and not a mirror or a difficult-to-navigate digital version. I admit, my major contributions to Wikipedia do not tend to be in DYK or article creation sectors as it used to, but I definitely want to increase it especially in articles relating to Judaism. As for DYK it is clear the importance of clearing such a lengthy backlog. Thanks, Valley2city‽ 05:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Okaying ALT1 - article looks good now (after some minor fixes). Further (and more reliable) references still wouldn't hurt, mind; we may have 9 references now, but five of them are non-independent (and one of those five is a blog). A second opinion on okaying this wouldn't hurt, either, as it's been a couple years since I was active at DYK. Sideways713 (talk) 15:27, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
