Reminder
change@Eptalon since you've recently participated in Wikipedia:Feminism and Folklore 2024 and only a day is left I thought of reminding you that this article is an Orphan so link it somewhere to its related pages in order for it to get through. Kind regards✌🏻
Preliminary evaluation
change@Eptalon: Welcome, Feminism and Folklore contestant! Unlike usual, I began by reading this article with my squishy human brain. I concur with our able colleague MacDonald-ross. This article has many places where it would benefit from simplification. Words like "established" and "innovation" could be replaced. I have been advising your fellow contestants to, instead of linking a complex word, pipe-link it with its explanation, like this [[fancy word|whichever translation of the fancy word is best for this article]]. I do this all the time with Froggy of the Day: "This frog is about 22 mm long [[snout-vent length|from nose to rear end]]." ("Snout-vent length" is a specific term used by scientists.)
I will now run the text of this article through my readability gizmo for a more quantifiable assessment! I'm getting nothing under tenth grade with an average of eleventh. Yes, it's too complex.
I also see it's a translation from the German Wikipedia. Please confirm that you translated it from this specific version of the article that you link in your change description: [1]. I have added the translation template above.
Ayesha46 is right. We're not supposed to give points to orphan articles.
The biggest problem is the choice of topic. This isn't about a piece of folklore. It merely mentions fairy tales once. It's about a theory of psychology or social science. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:55, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- hello Darkfrog24. I will fix the issues of course. I translated from German for two reasons: First of all, the original publication seems to be in German, and secondly, the Enwp article is more of a literature study, and more work to simplify ... Eptalon (talk) 02:34, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Your choice of source wiki is not a problem. You just need to put the tag up to show it's a translation. This was a new process for the other contestants.
- The big thing you need to do is establish what this concept has to do with either feminism, folklore, or folk culture. Darkfrog24 (talk) 03:08, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
