Little Syria, Manhattan

Reading your new article. The 5% number is so high that I am dubious. it certainly needs a better source than a New York Times reporter writing at moment when that august newspaper is spinning this particular story as hard as it can. I think you should take the number out, unless you have a better source. The number of non-Christians and non-Jews among early twentieth century immigrants from that region is usually cited as negligible. I suspect that some highly partisan source gave this number to teh Times, and was tempted ot write the reporter this morning to ask where he came up with such a specific and highly questionable figure.AMuseo (talk) 19:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I see where you got the 5% number form. A guess made in a color feature in the 1940's. It is not a reliable number. You should tick to the word "overwhelmingly" which is accurate if vague.AMuseo (talk) 19:31, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate the input and the tweaks you made to the aerticle. I can only use what I find in reliable and verifable sources, and spin or not I have no reason not to quote The New York Times on a demographic figure. I know that the overwhelming majority of early Arab immigration was Christian, but the 5% stat for Muslims as a percentage of residents of Little Syria seems not unreasonable and is worded to be an approximate figure and I'm not sure that I can be any more weasly on the number. By the way, The Times yesterday had an article about the Gaza Mall, an article which you beat them on the scoop. Keep up the great work! Alansohn (talk) 20:26, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Sachet (scented bag)

Can you take a look at Articles created/expanded on September 3 to see if this above article might qualify for a DYK. Apparently the previoulsy approved ALT1 is no longer approved. Perhaps ALT3 or ALT4 or ALT5 is better suited. Thanks.-Doug Coldwell ^talk 17:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Just changed from old article title of "perfume cushion" to the new one of Sachet in the Header. Do I have it correct as Sachet (scented bag) is the full and complete name? Thanks for help.--Doug Coldwell ^talk 18:07, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Your DYK comment got attached to the wrong DYK nomination

Hi, Alansohn! Thanks for reviewing DYK nominations; it's a thankless job but somebody has to do it. However, one of your DYK reviews went astray. You were apparently commenting on a nomination for actor Leon Belasco, but somehow your comment got attached to the nomination for the A.R. Gurney play The Cocktail Hour. I didn't offhand see the Leon Belasco nomination or I would have moved it there. The Cocktail Hour nomination is under DYK nominations for September 6. You might want to find the Belasco nomination and move it there. Thanks! --MelanieN (talk) 04:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

I found Leon Belasco - it's been moved to the queue! [1] It was originally listed right below The Cocktail Hour, and you must have missed when you hit "edit". Meanwhile somebody apparently approved it and moved it to the queue, since your comment questioning the sources wasn't attached to it. Would you mind removing your comment and my response from The Cocktail Hour, so that it can be moved to the queue also? --MelanieN (talk) 06:19, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

The sourcing issue was addressed and both hooks were approved and are in the queue. This issue appears to have resolved itself. Alansohn (talk) 12:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
