  • Reviewed: Vikram Phadnis
  • Comment: I have expanded Bilkis as well, though not enough to meet DYK criteria.

Improved to Good Article status by DiplomatTesterMan (talk). Self-nominated at 07:17, 30 March 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - The following individual sentences need direct citations in support of the hook facts: "The protest was led by women who blocked a major road[d] at Shaheen Bagh"; "One of the Shaheen Bagh protestors, 82-year old Bilkis"; "On 12 January, a group of women started a CAA sit-in demonstration in the market area of Patna"; "The protest inspired similar protests across the country, such as those in Gaya, Kolkata"; you could also add the word "copycat" after or instead of "similar". (The rest of the facts are already directly cited.)
  • Interesting: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Regarding newness: Good Article status was accorded March 22; Comment by nominator acknowledges seeing the GA status change on the 23; the article was nominated for DYK on March 30, 2021. The goal of DYK is to encourage effort, and some leeway can be given, so I would argue for considering the nomination date to be acceptable. Earwig flags some quotations and other phrases like titles, which are acceptable. Excellent work by the original writer and the GA reviewers; a very interesting article. Once sentences supporting each of the facts for the hooks are individually cited, this should be fine. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 03:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Mary Mark Ockerbloom: Addressing the sourcing issues (all references mentioned here have been used in the article):
The protest was led by women who blocked a major road[d] at Shaheen Bagh
  • The usage of the words "led by" is paraphrasing the sources and body content. There are many more citations used within the article to support this.
One of the Shaheen Bagh protestors, 82-year old Bilkis
  • Added "one of the Shaheen Bagh protestors" to the body.
On 12 January, a group of women started a CAA sit-in demonstration in the market area of Patna
  • Removed "in the market area", not needed; already cited.
The protest inspired similar protests across the country, such as those in Gaya, Kolkata
  • These are cited inline.
If I have missed anything please let me know. Thank you so much for the review. So many people have contributed to taking the article this far! DTM (talk) 03:34, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
  • @DiplomatTesterMan:, I'm sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough about what to do. This is a requirement specifically for DYK in addition to what is usually needed in an article. For DYK, any sentence in the Wikipedia article that contains information that is to be used in a proposed hook must have a citation, for that information, at the end of the sentence in the article that states that information. It's not good enough to cite something at the end of the paragraph, as is usually acceptable. You have cited the information in the article currently, but the citations don't appear where they are needed to meet this DYK requirement.

For example, the sentence in the lede that starts "The protest inspired similar protests across the country, such as those in Gaya, Kolkata..." needs a citation at the end of that sentence. It may be possible to copy and paste each citation using the visual editor. If you are using the source editor, the easiest thing to do is to 1) name the existing citation that supports this information wherever it currently appears in the article: e.g. Replace <ref> with <ref name="Doulatramani"> at the start of the reference in the source by Doulatramani and 2) add the named ref at the end of the sentence in the article that needs a citation. e.g. Add <ref name="Doulatramani"/> (Note that I've added a slash before the closing bracket.) I've done the "Kolkata" sentence as an example. The sources you've listed above need to be cited at the end of the listed sentences in the article. Feel free to tag me as needed.

  • I have gone ahead and fixed the DYK sourcing issues that I identified above; however my participation in editing the article means that someone else now needs to do a final confirmatory review. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 18:58, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
    • I have reviewed the citations to confirm that everything mentioned in the DYK has been properly sourced. No Copyvio found and all images are free on Commons. Dorevabelfiore (talk) 15:59, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
