Mary Ellen Cuper

[edit]

Moved to mainspace by SkyGazer 512 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:40, 31 October 2018 (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
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @SkyGazer 512: Can you see if I've overlooked something regarding the newness and also add the page number?

  • Unless I have missed something (which is entirely possible), the article was not created or moved to the mainspace, nor was it expanded 5x within 7 days of its nomination.
  • Cite is to a book; a specific page must be provided, otherwise the cite is of little use. Ergo Sum 03:19, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Hey Ergo Sum; thanks for reviewing! Per WP:Did you know#gen1, Articles that have been worked on exclusively in a user or user talk subpage or at articles for creation or in the Draft namespace and then moved (or in some cases pasted) to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace. Although I created the article on October 12, 2018, it was in my userspace at the time. I moved it to the mainspace on 25 October 2018, which was 5 days ago, as shown here, so unless I'm missing something, the article should be new enough.
In response to the page number thing, that is something I thought might be a concern. However, when searching the book in Google Books, you'll notice that the page numbers are apparently not provided on Google Books. Btw, I don't have this book, I'm just using the information available on Google Books. In case it helps for you personally, the first page in the result that shows up here is where I got this information from, but I'm not sure how to convey that in the article. As for the copyvio/close paraphrasing/plagiarism thing goes, which you put a question mark on but didn't comment on, the only things that show up in the Copyvio Detector are a quote, the words "he sent her a photograph," and "was born in 1847 at Bunbury, Western Australia," which can't really be paraphrased any further; although if you have any suggestions on how to do so, that would be much appreciated. Cheers, --SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 03:40, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
In case it helps, Ergo Sum, the quotes confirming this are Because her mother had been deserted by Mary's European father, the government authorities considered that she was unable to bring up her daughter on her own and Mary Ellen is also renowned for being the first postmistress at New Norcia.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 03:49, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
@SkyGazer 512: Quite right you are! It appears I missed the page move in the article history. The 5x expansion is sufficiently new. The question mark appears for copyvio just because I hadn't filled it out yet, pending your response. As for the page number, one solution would be to add the chapter name to the citation and change the Google Books URL to link to the start of that chapter. Ergo Sum 04:22, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, Ergo Sum! I've put the chapter name into the book reference and modified the link (in the article) so that it go to this, a search for "Mary Ellen Cuper" in the book; I don't know how to link to specific pages or chapters on Google Books. Do you think that would be good enough?--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 12:47, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
@SkyGazer 512: For the purposes of DYK, that should be sufficient. Ergo Sum 17:10, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
