  • Reviewed: Larsonzzz needs to sort out the urls in the refs before this can be nominated
  • Comment: Newbie warning

5x expanded by Larsonzzz (talk). Nominated by Victuallers (talk) at 23:37, 18 November 2015 (UTC).

  • Larsonzzz is a newbie who fixed the referencing issue mentioned above but did not transclude it to T:TDYK. Victuallers is an experienced DYKian and urgently needs to provide a QPQ for this nomination to proceed. EdChem (talk) 00:51, 6 January 2016 (UTC) Well I missed this. I must say its off that newbies get 5 free goes but not if they are helped. Either way if this can still be processed then here is a QPQ. Victuallers (talk) 15:29, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Full review needed now that nomination has been properly transcluded and QPQ has been offered. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:33, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Noticeable concerns of plagiarism here. If these are not resolved, I would advise a closing editor to remove the sections from the article. My second advice would be to remove the quotation marks from the hook and reword it. Jolly Ω Janner 23:09, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the review @Jolly Janner: - I have rephrased the sections from the source you identified. If you want to offer an alternative alt too then thats OK too. Victuallers (talk) 17:51, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Review needed per edits performed to the article. North America1000 05:43, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
  • The text in the awards section is still a word for word copy from the Douglass Institute up until "In 2012 Dr. Kieffer won the Lamonica Prize ...". More worryingly, no reference was made to the Douglass Institute. I understand this article was written by a student as part of their course and it may be worth informing the professor, User:Drsusan1968 of this. Jolly Ω Janner 06:42, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Adding icon to supersede review request and to reflect continuing apparent copyvio. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:21, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Adding to pile-on. The student's supervisor is well aware of this discussion as its on her talk page. I think she will take the message the DYK is not a place for newbies trying to write their first article. Sorry Drsusan1968. I could be wrong but my students get encouragement (I teach) as well as suggestions. If I were a newbie then I would look elsewhere. I suggest that we delete this nomination and complete the message we have been sending to other prospective newbies. (e.g. If you don't understand the intricacies of copyright then stay away from DYK). Do we imagine that the student is doing this on purpose?? They needed help. (Thanks to reviewers) but we have not helped and we have not encouraged. Victuallers (talk) 20:38, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
