Smilja Avramov

Smilja Avramov

5x expanded by Antidiskriminator (talk). Self nominated at 21:08, 31 October 2013 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg At first eye glance it didn't seem five-folded expanded to me, but using the "Cut and paste" tool, I found an expansion from about 360 characters to about 2144 (not counting the publication list). And then it's also new enough. I have copyedited the prose slightly, so please check what I have done to see if you agree. I also added some citation needed tags, and in addition to those I added, I would like to see a citation at the end of the education paragraph. The lede mentions that she (is?) "member of the Senate of Republika Srpska in 1996". This is not expanded on in the body of the article, and since the lede is meant to summarize the lede, I think you should tell a bit more about this in the body: did she represent a party, where was she elected from, how long did she serve? Sources are mostly in Serbian, which I can't read, so I can't check for accuracy or copyvio/close paraphrasing. The one English source "List of Previous International Law Association Conferences". led straight to the main page; I didn't see the list and didn't find anything while searching for her name , but that's probably the netsite that has been updated since the source was added in 2012. Photo with adequate licence. The hook might need some copyediting/tweaking, maybe shortening. For instance, I think we can just say the 2013 Brüssel Agreement rather than pointing out it was signed in April 2013. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 11:35, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
I have cropped the picture and done some more copy editting. As Iselilja states ints tricky to check but we can AGF a source. There are several books on-line that discuss her views - and she has some surprising and therefore hooky ideas. Options are to AGF, find a translation, or to add a hook based on an English language hook. Victuallers (talk) 22:18, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I didn't mean to indicate that Serbian sources are not valid (I mostly use Norwegian sources in my own articles), I was just pointing out that I can not check for copyvio/close paraphrasing, and by that I meant I would have to AGF as you say. I have also pointed out that I would like some more inline citation for specific information.(May happen by just naming and re-using current sources). + Some more info about her political career as indicated above. - Also, after you copy-editing the article says "Since 1949 Avramov has worked as an assistant and professor" - but considerering that she's 95, does she still work at the University?

Thanks for copyediting and reviewing of this article's nomination. I translated the quote which supports the hook and will address your other concerns shortly.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:39, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
