Grammar check[edit]

Hey Munfarid1 (talk). Can you check Hamad al-Hajji? I wanna nominate it for a DYK. Thank you. Ruwaym (talk) 14:34, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Ruwaym:, I have just copyedited your well-sourced article, making some changes to shorten the text and make it clearer for people who are not familiar with Saudi culture. There are two names where I have added the comment ^Who? that you should explain. It seems good to me that you have quoted from a literary source about the specific quality of his poetry, so it becomes clear why it is considered notable. - And finally, if you have translated substantial parts of the original article in Arabic, you should acknowledge this. (But if not, no worries.) And when you have nominated it for DYk, I am ready to review your nomination.

And another idea: If you can find some information and source, if and why his poetry has been appreciated after his death, that would be useful, too. - I assume there is a work on Saudi poetry in English you could quote. Regards, Munfarid1 (talk) 06:48, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Munfarid1: Thanks you. Fixing names is

Done. I don't translated this article from Arabic, i mentioned my style once Talk:Abd al-Quddus al-Ansari#Rough translation. About an english source, i found nothing via google books nor google search. Seems this poet is unknown generally in the English world.--Ruwaym (talk) 16:06, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found no free licensed picture too. We have to wait one decade more to upload a picture of him under commons:Template:PD-Saudi Arabia Ruwaym (talk) 16:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

... that Saudi Arabian poet Hamad al-Hajji lost three members of his family at childhood and later suffered from schizophrenia until he died at the age of 49 after a lung disease? Source: Hamad al-Hajji#Sources
- Reviewed:
- Comment: There is some hooks in this poet life, i chose his early years and medical condition+death. Most biographers - not psychiatrists - of Al-Hajji related his schizophrenia to his childhood issues. He lost three members of his family when he was under 10; His widower father carelessness; Growed up by his older sister then moved to Riyadh at the age of 13, as a college student he saw no encouragement for his literary creativity, until he died at the age of 49 after a lung disease in a Psychiatric care center.

Some new sources have been written about him that I do not have access to them: Hamad al-Hajji#Further reading. "The story of Hamad Al-Hajji; new medical reading" wrote by two specialist physician who have examined his disease in a more scientific way. But based on current article sources, i guess we can find some hooks.

Length and history verified. Sources accepted on good faith. But one passage in "Middle years" needs to be sourced. Daniel Case (talk) 02:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ruwaym (talk) 20:14, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Case, are you ready to continue the review: neutrality, copyvio check, hook, etc.? BlueMoonset (talk) 23:12, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not a review but isn't the hook pretty long? Maybe it's better to focus on just one or two aspects of his life instead of mentioning the family deaths, the schizophrenia, and his death at a young age? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:33, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good now. Daniel Case (talk) 06:01, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
