Drago Siliqi

  • Comment: This is my first DYK nomination so please advice if anything is wrong. Also, I will not accept any suggestions that the hook should concern his death. The hook should be positive. Thank you!

Symbol question.svg The problem with the current hook is that it is wordy--in fact, it is too long (it's 224). Start by cutting "ist" from criticist. Moreover, more than half of it is really about someone else. You can remove "inaugural winner...Prize", which I don't think you need anyway.
ALT: "... that Albanian poet and literary critic Drago Siliqi encouraged Ismail Kadare to write his first novel, The General of the Dead Army?"
But that's still mostly about someone else. I have no suggestions to offer--that he died tragically, you don't want that--though I don't understand your objection. Finally, the article needs a copyedit, for punctuation, word choice, grammar. Drmies (talk) 05:17, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article is in reasonably good shape now. I removed the content about the ambassador from the article. AGF due to foreign-language sourcing. Here is an idea for hook wording:
  • I'm not the nominator here, but I think ALT2 is a little better. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
