Nosa Igiebor (journalist)
[edit]- ... that Nosa Igiebor was held incommunicado for six months following his magazine's criticism of Nigerian General Sani Abacha?

Length, date ok. But the six months is not mentioned in article. Nor is the word 'incomunicado' used in the article. --Soman (talk) 17:41, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Fixed. The IFEX and Amnesty sources explicitly describe him as held incommunicado. The length is slightly trickier; he was arrested 25 December and released 24 June, but I have no article that uses the specific phrase "six months". If you're not comfortable with my math, though, we can always just take "for six months" out of the hook. Thanks for reviewing! Khazar (talk) 17:52, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Close paraphrasing abounds; please review. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:04, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hi SG, I'll be glad to try to address your concerns, but "abounds" doesn't give me much of a starting point. Could you give me a few examples of sentences or paragraphs you find of concern here? Khazar (talk) 18:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Since this problem is throughout your DYKs, see general response here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:23, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

- I looked at this particular biography, not also at "problems ... throughout". Sources give the order of his studies and first 3 posts. I had a hard time not to use their wordings, and a different order doesn't make sense. Please check, to make another fighter for Human rights known. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
- There have been no edits to the article since 21 February, and the nominator appears to have left Wikipedia, so this is still unresolved. Prioryman (talk) 00:49, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- There have been edits asking for another review on 21 February, and there are edits of today, thank you Orlady, you English is so much better, and you expanded nicely,

- Hook: ALT is good. Referenced, short enough.
- Article: New and long enough, thoroughly referenced. Checked against this reference, paraphrasing looks fine.
Good to go! Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:07, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
