• ... that the flatbread luchi is typically five to six inches in diameter, but a version served in one village is as small as one inch?

• Source: In appearance a luchi is a round golden disc, 12.5–15 cm (5–6") in diameter …

  • Comment: I will note, I partially translated this article from the Bengali Wikipedia, which cites some sources I cannot access online. I have submitted a WP:RX request to access the cited pages, but it's unlikely I'll access it within one week, so this DYK will have to involve some heavy AGF.

• @Vigilantcosmicpenguin: In my opinion, translating from other wikis 'blind' is tantamount to using Wikipedia as a source. Which sources do you lack access to?--Launchballer 17:56, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
  • @Launchballer: I personally think translating from another wiki is more like expanding an article that already has substantial content—I've only kept statements that are appropriate and verifiable. But I understand your point. There are two sources cited that I do not have access to: Banglar Khabar by Pranab Ray (1987) and Khai Kintu Jani Ki by Debasish Mukhopadhyay (2019). As I mentioned above, I have requested these sources on WP:RX so I can verify this information. But one of these sources is cited for the DYK hook, which means the hook is unverified. I can try to come up with a hook that uses a source I can access. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 18:15, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

    Perhaps this might work:

    ALT1: ... that the flatbread luchi was historically made with bananas instead of water?

    Source: “Traditionally, the dough was kneaded with either ghee or mashed bananas, and never with water,” Pant says.

• Full review needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:05, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
• for ALT1 but not ALT0. I verified that the article was 5x expanded and that there are no plagiarism concerns through spotchecking. The hook is interesting, present in the article, and sourced to a statement made by the food critic and food historian Pushpesh Pant. Assuming good faith that the content on the Bengali Wikipedia written by the established editor BengaliHindu (talk · contribs) and then translated into the English Wikipedia by Vigilant Cosmic Penguin is accurate. I reviewed the content cited to Banglar Khabar by Pranab Ray (1987) and Khai Kintu Jani Ki by Debasish Mukhopadhyay (2019) and did not find any exceptional claims. Thank you for expanding this interesting food article! Cunard (talk) 11:33, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
