  • I have not reviewed DYK of a GA up til now. I shall try this one out. Bookku (talk) 10:14, 25 May 2023 (UTC)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Good well-written article. The given DYK hook is still okay for global audience, so sort of okay, but to South Asian this information is important but may not be novel any more. I would suggest to create alternate hooks either based on his diverse educational background or his doctorate in economics from University of Berlin. Though I am not holding DYK approval for alt options but I am just still to confirm on QPQ requirement. Bookku (talk) 15:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

    • @Bookku: I've just completed the QPQ. Since the hook is okay for a global audience, let's go with that? Ashwin147 (talk) 12:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

There is an extremely high copyright violation score. Lightburst (talk) 21:35, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
@Lightburst: When I had checked Erwig my impression had been that only 2 paragraphs of Zakir Husain's widely publicized speech are leading to the Erwig copyvio score but as far as my understanding of WP:NONFREE#Acceptable use the usage of the quote seem to fulfill criteria of WP:MOSQUOTE by duly attributing the same. Would it be possible to have second opinion peer review once more by another Wikipedia copy-right expert, if you do not mind. Bookku (talk) 05:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
@Bookku: There are two quotes, regarding the objectives of the Jamia University, taken from the article in the Frontline that have been incorporated into the paragraphs but these are marked as quotes and attributed as well. That should explain the high score for the second source. Ashwin147 (talk) 05:49, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
I requested for second opinion @ User talk: Diannaa. Bookku (talk) 06:16, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
The only overlapping content that I see is several quotations. Short quotations are allowed. — Diannaa (talk) 13:06, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
The discussion here and on the DYK talk page seems to indicate that all is well so I removed the symbol. Lightburst (talk) 13:50, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
