  • ... that the American-Israeli company BigID became a unicorn just four years after it was founded? [1]
    • ALT1:... that the American-Israeli company BigID attained an evaluation of $1 billion just four years after it was founded?
  • Comment: My first DYK. No QPQ requirement.

Created by הסיסמא123 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:44, 16 May 2021 (UTC).

My Review:
  • New Green checkmarkY Yes – indeed was published on May 16
  • Long enough Green checkmarkY Yes – far more than the minimum of 1,500 characters
  • Within policy Red X symbolN No There are concerns here. The table under "Products" does not include inline citations for all entries. Also, some very close paraphrasing picked-up by Earwig here These need to be remedied before I can approve this nomination.
  • Format – Not sure whether it is a problem that most people might not be familiar as to what the term "unicorn" means, as it relates to finance. Might limit the only proposed hook's interest to a "broad audience".
  • QPQ – Irrelevant, as this indeed is verifiably the editor's first nomination for DYK
Conclusion: I cannot approve it at this time. There are aforementioned issues with the article that must first be remedied. I'd also suggest, perhaps, that a better hook be proposed.

@הסיסמא123: review conducted. Article has issues that need to be addressed. SecretName101 (talk) 15:05, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
Thank you @SecretName101:. I edited the article further in order to avoid close paraphrasing and added some of the text in the table with inline citations to the "Products" section. I think that being unfamiliar with the term unicorn in that context makes the hook more interesting to a "broad audience". That said, I added an alternative. הסיסמא123 (talk) 02:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

@הסיסמא123: Still appear to be instances of close paraphrasing (erwig) SecretName101 (talk) 14:37, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@SecretName101: what is the threshold that is acceptable in your eyes? הסיסמא123 (talk) 15:22, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing that verges on copyright infringement/plagiarism should not be present. 03:36, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

@SecretName101: I have made further changes and I do not think that there are any close paraphrasing that verges on copyright infringement/plagiarism. Can you please check again? הסיסמא123 (talk) 17:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
I've been asked to review the paraphrasing in this article. I do see portions that are too closely paraphrased from the original sources. Compare for example "The company's product combines cataloging, correlation, cluster analysis, and machine learning-based classification that assist companies to understand, detect, protect, and infer value out of their data" with "combining machine learning-based classification, cataloging, correlation, and cluster analysis to help companies better understand, protect, and derive value from their data".

Thank you for the feedback Nikkimaria. Given that erwig isn't currently indicating that there are any close paraphrasing in the article, and that the difference between close paraphrasing and paraphrasing is subjective, can you please list all of the close paraphrasing that exist today in your opinion? That would be helpful. As for the example above, do you think that "BigID's data intelligence platform includes such features as cataloging, correlation, cluster analysis, and classification, that assist their customers to protect, make sense of, and infer value out of the data stored in their systems" still constitutes close paraphrasing? If so, can you please suggest another paraphrasing? Thanks again. הסיסמא123 (talk) 19:59, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
Earwig doesn't check for close paraphrasing; it can only assess whether there has been word-for-word copying. Close paraphrasing is assessed by direct comparison. If paraphrasing is not possible, you can always use a direct quote. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:32, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Article has tags indicating significant problems, and so much material has been deleted as problematic that only 1007 prose characters remain, far short of the 1500 minimum required. Under the circumstances, unless the issues are resolved in the next seven days and an expansion made within policy (neutral and free of close paraphrasing and similar issues), the nomination will be closed as unsuccessful.

The nominator also hasn't edited since the middle of June so if this nomination is to be saved, it needs a new editor to adopt this. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:15, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
