On Everyday Orientalism as a source

Everyday Orientalism is hosted on a WordPress site which triggered an automated filter. For those curious about EO as a source, I opted to include it as (1) it has won awards from academic organisations for its public-facing word (2) it has an editorial team consisting of academics and (3) its posts are refereed. These three points are detailed on their 'about' page. Richard Nevell (talk) 21:38, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced, neutral and plagiarism free (Earwig picks up 2.9% for a couple of minor phrases, but one is used in different context, so ok). Hook is cited to the Gaza Stories Youtube channel, which is a French, English and Palestinian project sharing human stories of the war. The video in question is in Arabic, but with French subtitles, so I'm not sure if putting it in quotation marks is suitable? (advice welcome). On notability, the YouTube video isn't contributing to that, but rather other RS. I couldn't find a guideline for DYK that said a primary source couldn't be used for a hook (but would welcome someone to point me to it). My ? for status isn't over the notability of the subject, or the nature of the hook, but rather whether the quote within should be in quotation marks.

Lajmmoore: A good question and I'm not sure what the answer is, but how about an alternative hook that doesn't use the quote:

ALT1 ... that Fadel al-Utol considers preserving Gaza's archaeological sites to be a peaceful act of resistance against Israel?

It's sourced to the same video. Richard Nevell (talk) 19:34, 11 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

that looks good to me Lajmmoore (talk) 21:43, 11 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
