Weltdeutsch

  • ... that Weltdeutsch was a language created by Nobel Prize laureate and pacifist Wilhelm Ostwald in an episode of chauvinistic fervour? Source: [1]

    • Comment: This is my fourth DYK, so QPQ not required; I think I shall add one nevertheless.

Created by Frzzl (talk). Self-nominated at 11:21, 6 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Weltdeutsch; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Article is new enough and long enough, no copyright concerns. Author doesn't need a QPQ. Pretty interesting topic and I like the hook - particularly the contrast between pacifism and chauvinism. I've been able to verify this through the source provided, but I do note that the term "chauvinism" may be slightly too creative when it comes to interpreting the source, and may be better replaced with the word "nationalism". Otherwise, there are two outstanding issues: 1) Ostwald's pacifism isn't explicitly mentioned with an inline source in the article, and it needs to be. 2) I've tagged a couple of places in the article with citation needed tags, which need to be addressed. --GGT (talk) 16:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Thank you for the review, I have fixed said problems. I added more refs while doing so, and in a happily found a source which used the exact words "chauvinistic fervour"[2], so I think I am fine using it. Hope all is well following those changes, Frzzl (talk) 19:53, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
      • Thanks a lot. I can't currently access this reference but I will AGF on it. My concerns seem to have been resolved, and I think this is now good to go. --GGT (talk) 15:39, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
