  • Hi JackFromWisconsin, article looks in good condition and has been promoted to GA on 3 August. Hook fact is interesting and its construction is mentioned in the article. The fact that Isaacson built Lake Redstone is not mentioned in the article. I also don't think that the fact that Isaacson used the runway is explicitly supported by the sources, only that he built it ("For a while in the late 1960's and early 1970's the Reedsburg Airport had its own water landing strip for float planes. The Isaacson lake development firm installed the strip." and "The old terminal was built by in the 1960's by N.E. Isaacson when he operated a lake development firm in Reedsburg. At the time the airport also had a water landing strip that Isaacson built to accommodate float planes") - Dumelow (talk) 06:54, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks JackFromWisconsin, I can't access the Madison source but the quotation you've provided is enough to say it was for his personal use. It'd need adding to the relevant sentence in the article. Additionally neither source currently cited in that sentence mentions Lake Redstone, as far as I can tell? - Dumelow (talk) 15:34, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The source mentioning Lake Redstone was the next sentence over, I just cited it for both so its more clear where the claim is coming from. Is there anything else you are looking for in the article or from the hook? --JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 18:14, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I am always a bit particular as I have had articles of mine rejected where the specific sentence is not cited to the source directly (eg. if it's at the end of the paragraph instead). Everything else (spotcheck on close paraphrasing, provision of QPQ etc.) looks fine here - Dumelow (talk) 18:23, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Overall it's a really nice suite of articles, which are a great contribution, I just think there's some referencing to be done on historiography, and to expand the PoT article sources so readers have a wider (if limited in content) range Lajmmoore (talk) 19:43, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for such a detailed and sweet review, Lajmmoore. I do enjoy reading Murray. I'll see how I can incorporate another reference at Pontifical of Tyre; I would not like it to look forced when everyone seemingly just quotes Mayer on it. I would argue that the order of service is much (which does not mean most or all) when it comes to the coronation ceremony itself. In all honesty, I cannot bother to go through 200 pages of Mayer again to find where exactly he says "much" so that I can cite that when I use that exact word, so we can swap "much of what is known about" with "the order of service for", even if it is somewhat less accessible to the general reader.

  • for Alt-1. First off, the low-hanging fruit: QPQ done, image is a NASA photo PD-licensed, article is long enough and new enough (created 3 August). Moving on to the hard stuff ... I find no close paraphrasing on a spot check, though Earwig returns 42% indicating "Violation Possible". However, on close examination of the text, most instances appear to be the proper use of long terms (e.g. "a fellow of the American Geophysical Union" and "a visiting professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara"). Ergo, COPYVIO is good. The Alt-1 hook is definitely interesting and is inline cited to a RS (namely, the Bulletin of the Geological Society of America). The article is NPOV. To err on the side of caution, I think we should go with Alt-1 as the primary hook is sourced to a photo caption hosted by the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service and, while I'm fine with it, I imagine someone might object at some point, possibly. Anyway, looks great!!! Chetsford (talk) 05:26, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dananeer (film), Ya Laylat al-Eid

[edit]
( Comment or view )
( Article history links:
)
  • ... that "Ya Laylat al-Eid", originally a number in Dananeer, a 1940 musical about a singing slave girl, was removed from the film and had its lyrics changed in order to better associate it with Eid?
  • Source: alaraby.co.uk
    About the film version and the radio version with different lyrics: بالطبع، فإن كلمات الغصن الأخير المتماهية مع أحداث فيلم تاريخي لم تكن صالحة لتكرار البث والإذاعة، وقد فطنت أم كلثوم إلى أن هذه الكلمات قد تكون عقبة تمنع الأغنية من أن تصبح عنواناً لعيد الفطر، فطلبت من أحمد رامي وضع كلمات بديلة، وتغيير ألفاظ "دجلة" و"هارون" و"جعفر"، فكتب رامي: "يا نيلنا ميتك سكر.. وزرعك في الغيطان نور.. تعيش يا نيل وتتهنى.. ونحيي لك ليالي العيد". هكذا، أصبح للأغنية نصان، الأول هو الأصلي، وهو جزء من الفيلم، وغصنه الأخير "يا دجلة ميتك عنبر"، والثاني، وهو في تسجيل الأسطوانة الذي اشتهر وانتشر عبر الإذاعات العربية، وغصنه الأخير "يا نيلنا ميتك سكر".
    Of course, the lyrics of the last stanza, which mirror the events of a historical film, were not suitable for repeated broadcast or radio play. Umm Kulthum realized that those words could prevent the song from becoming the anthem of Eid al-Fitr, so she asked Ahmed Rami to write alternative lyrics and to replace the references to "Tigris," "Harun," and "Jaafar." Rami penned: "Oh Nile, your waters are sugar, and your crops in the floodplains are light. May you live long and prosper, oh Nile, and we will rouse for you the Eid nights." Thus the song existed in two versions. The first is the original as heard in the film, ending with "O Tigris, your waters are amber", and the second is the record that became famous on Arab radio, ending with "O Nile, your waters are sugar".
  • https://espanaenarabe.com/تعرَّف-إلى-قصة-أغنية-يا-ليلة-العيد،-وال/
    About the removal of the song from the film: بعد ذلك قررت أم كلثوم أن تحذف الأغنية من الفيلم لتبقى الأغنية بعيدة عن أحداثه، وتبقى مرتبطة في الأذهان بالعيد وتغنى في الشوارع كما جاءت الكلمات منه.
    After that, Umm Kulthum decided to delete the song from the film so that the song would remain distant from its events, stay tied in people's minds to Eid, and be sung in the streets exactly as its words had come from it.
  • https://www.billboardarabia.com/أخبار/أخبار-فنانون/يا-ليلة-العيد-جملة-البائع-المتجول-التي-أوصلت-أم-كلثوم-لوسام-الكمال-1147
    More about removal of the song from the film: لاحقًا، أصرّت أم كلثوم على حذف الأغنية من الفيلم لترتبط في أذهان الجمهور بالعيد أكثر منها بالفيلم.
    Later, Umm Kulthum insisted once more on deleting the song from the film so that audiences would associate it more with the Eid celebration than with the movie itself.
  • https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9780520976122-010/html (p. 127)
    Singing slave girl: The final section of this chapter, "A Modern Qayna: Sallama (1945)," unpacks the sociosexual implications of Umm Kulthum’s preference to play the role of the singing slave girl. I begin this section by reviewing the implied sexual politics of her two prior appearances as a qayna:in Widad (1936, Fritz Kramp) and Dananir (1940, Ahmad Badr Khan).

Overall: The articles both look good, but I'm a little concerned about the accuracy of the hook. The hook makes it seem like he thought being asked to compete at the Olympics was a joke, whereas according to the source it appears he thought it was a joke when asked to ski for Haiti two years prior (not specifically at the Olympics). (Translated: "For Richardson Viano, it all came together when the president of the Haitian Ski Federation, Jean-Pierre Roy, contacted him to offer him the chance to ski for his native country, where the average temperature is around 30°C. After thinking it was a joke, the skier from Puy-Saint-Vincent seized the opportunity. Two years later, in Beijing") Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:11, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • @BeanieFan11: I guess one could translate blague as "prank", although technically a prank is une farce. The problem of "it" being ambiguous can be fixed by having the hook follow the wording I used in the article instead:
    ALT1: ... that when alpine skier Richardson Viano was asked to represent Haiti at the 2022 Winter Olympics, he initially thought the offer was a prank?
Yue🌙 21:12, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My concern isn't exactly prank/joke, but whether it was the competing at the Olympics he thought was the joke. From the looks of it, it seems he was offered to begin representing Haiti in skiing competitions, thought that offer was a joke, then a year later qualified to compete at the Olympics through his performance at the world championships. Is that correct? BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:18, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11: No, you are mistaken; further in the article it quotes him saying, "Je croyais à une blague d'un copain" – "I thought it was a joke (prank) by a friend". Yue🌙 21:23, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I should've looked closer at the source. Everything should be good then. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:26, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
