Suggestion for DYK hook
@
Cwmhiraeth,
TheAafi,
Desertarun, and
SL93: I think this DYK needs to be changed. There is no reference in the article to confirm that
Hanne Nielsen invented
Havarti cheese.
da: Havarti states that despite the Havarti name the cheese type was never produced at Havartigård. A conference paper cited in the article states that a cheese known as Danbo Tilsiter was renamed Havarti in Nielsen’s honour in 1951.[1]Havarti does say Nielsen created Havarti, but the sources for the references don’t look reliable: one says that she was the "wife of a New Zealand farmer".[2][3]
I suggest that this article and Havart should be reworded to say "a cheese previously known as Danbo Tilsiter was renamed Havarti in Nielsen’s honour in 1951"[1] and propose
The source given
[1] for her having invented it is the Oxford Companion to Cheese, which appears to be a reliable source.
Cwmhiraeth (
talk) 10:12, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
I don't think anything needs to change, the refs offered above say she invented the cheese.
Desertarun (
talk) 10:49, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
@
Desertarun and
Cwmhiraeth: I only saw this today so I have only researched it quickly. The Oxford Companion to Cheese should be reliable, but it does say she created "the traditional Havarti cheese", which may not mean the modern cheese. The online Dansk Biografisk Leksikon (1979-84)
[2] says "She herself created the Christian IX cheese, while the later Havarti has no background in her cheese making" (via Google translate). I think the current wording is disputable and the issue should be resolved before the DYK is used.
TSventon (
talk) 11:23, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon I see no issue with the current hook due to the Oxford book not being the only reference I found that states she invented Havarti cheese.
SL93 (
talk) 14:46, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SL93 the sources do seem to be contradictory, so it is not surprising that four editors have checked the nomination and not found a problem. I think that the issue should be resolved before the DYK is published, but it is up to
Cwmhiraeth.
TSventon (
talk) 15:03, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon I originally came across the claim that Hanne Nielsen invented Havarti cheese on a package of imported cheese from
Castello cheeses, as I also found at
Cheese Market News. I would hope that an agricultural cooperative in Denmark since 1893 would know the history of the cheese. The sources might be contradictory at times, but I am worried that the article will be pulled completely after I put so much effort into it. It wasn't easy finding sources about her life.
SL93 (
talk) 15:10, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon According to a
Danish made Copenhagen travel website and my other reading, there are two types of Havarti cheese still in production. The first is the original (i.e. traditional) since 1852 and second is creamy Havarti in 1920. According to that website, Havarti cheese was invented at her farm. I'm going to vouch for the modern Danish sources over the old Danish sources.
SL93 (

I'm trying to find the 1951 reference to Danbo being named Havarti with no luck.
Danbo is its own cheese.
SL93 (
talk) 15:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SL93 the nomination seems to have been swapped, which will delay it for a couple of days and give some time for further investigation. The most reliable sources I have seen so far are the Dansk Biografisk Leksikon, quoted above and the Dansk Kvindebiografisk Leksikon
[3], which does not mention Havarti cheese. Have you read them? They are both in Danish, but they are online and can be read via Google translate. If reliable sources conflict it may be necessary to include both versions.
TSventon (
talk) 16:26, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon Well, what would you suggest as a hook and as a change to the article? Your alt hook is based on something that isn't true per
Danbo.
SL93 (

SL93 I will try to do some research and respond tomorrow. DYK articles are read by thousands of people and if there is an error anyone can report it.

SL93 (

SL93 sorry if I am stating the obvious, I am very new to DYK. I have made a new section: do you want to start another one for feedback, then you could link the section to
talk:Did you_know?
TSventon (

TSventon I think we should just direct people here from there. I will point out though that the Oxford cheese book won a
James Beard Foundation Award in 2017 for Reference and Scholarship and the author is
Catherine Donnelly.

@
Ipigott and
Victuallers:, as recent contributors to the article, what do you think about my concern at the top of this thread.
TSventon (
talk) 17:21, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
From the DBL and sources such as
videnommad and
[4], it appears that the cheese now called Havarti was originally produced, possibly by Nielsen, as Danish Tilsit and that it was only in 1952 that it was officially renamed Havarti. A
convincing account in Kristeligt Dagblad states that the name Havarti actually came from the old Danish word "avarti" from "åbred" or the flowering banks of a stream but was changed to Havarti in honour of Hanne Nielsen. It goes on to explain that "ironically, she never produced the type of cheese that was named after her". These accounts contract the Oxford Companion, although the summary there is not totally inaccurate. I nevertheless think the article should first be modified and then a more fitting hook should be put together. I'll try to look at this more carefully tomorrow.--
Ipigott (
talk) 20:23, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Thank you Ipigott. I have found the specification on the Danish Food Administration's website
[5] and section 6 confirms that the cheese was first produced in 1921 and the name was given in 1952. Avarti seems to be an early form of the name of the farm. I presume fisked ost means cheese with small bubbles.
TSventon (
talk) 20:48, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SL93 I have reread the conference paper and I misread page 32 as saying Havarti was formerly Danbo. Other pages (26, 33) make it clear Havarti was formerly Tilsiter.
TSventon (
talk) 13:20, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
IpigottTSventon Why don't we just combine the sources and state how the information is contradictory? The hook could then be changed based on that. It is better than arguing what reliable sources are better to use due to the fact that we have no actual way to know.
SL93 (
talk) 20:44, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SL93 hopefully things will be clearer tomorrow.
TSventon (
talk) 20:54, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon I doubt it. I'm reworking the article now and that would be a simple fix.
SL93 (

SL93 and
Ipigott for your cooperation.
TSventon (

I reworked the article and I suggest ALT2... that Danish dairy farmer Hanne Nielsen may have invented
Havarti cheese and created a
Tilsit cheese for King
Christian IX of Denmark? I have found no valid reason to believe that we can find a definite history of Havarti cheese when several authors can't even agree. Are we cheese history experts? Pinging
Cwmhiraeth about changing the hook. Pinging
TSventon as well.
SL93 (

SL93 Ipigott has offered their help tomorrow, so I am happy to wait until then.
TSventon (
talk) 21:33, 1 August 2021 (UTC)reply
Cwmhiraeth We have a workable hook with ALT2 and a workable solution that is already in the article. Ipigott agreed above that ALT2 will work and the only dissenting opinion is
TSventon who seems to want us to evaluate which sources are better and then go with that. My issue with doing it that way is that people can still claim our interpretation is an error due to what other sources say. Our interpretation is specifically against
WP:OR.
SL93 (
talk) 15:24, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon I'm seeing if you can agree to this hook. We can't just pick one side of the reliable sources to cover per
WP:RS and
WP:OR. If this is agreed to then Ipigott, you, and myself will have agreed to it.
SL93 (

The Oxford Companion to Cheese "Hanne Nielsen ... created the now most famous Danish cheese in the 1800s"[1]
Wisconsin Cheese "Havarti was created in Denmark in the 1880s by Hanne Nielsen ... She then developed the cheese on Havarti, her experimental farm" [2]
Cheesemarketnews "inspired by the Prussian Tilsiter cheese and brought to Denmark by cheese pioneer Hanne Nielsen" and "Danish Havarti dates back to the 1920s but was not named until 1952".[3]
No
Product specification "the name Havarti was chosen in honour of Mrs. Hanne Nielsen for the efforts in the field of cheese production she practiced at Havartigaarden"[4]
IpigottSL93 I think we need to weigh up the sources, update the Hanne Nielsen and Havarti articles accordingly, then choose a hook. My interpretation is that Hanne Nielsen produced and sold cheese from her farm Havartigården in the 19th century, including Tilsiter cheese. Production of a cheese called "Danish Tilsiter" began in 1921 and, in 1952, Danish Tilsiter was named Havarti after Havartigården, in memory of Nielsen.

Ipigott already stated that they are fine with ALT2.
SL93 (
talk) 15:18, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
I don't think we should do an interpretation of the sources. I think that saying the sources are contradictory is good enough and isn't an error. A hook has been chosen. Weighing up the sources with our own interpretation is against policy at
WP:OR.
SL93 (
talk) 15:20, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon Please don't add unreferenced content to
Havarti per
WP:V. That doesn't help anything.
SL93 (
talk) 16:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SL93 I added translated content separately to make the attribution clear. Can you let me add the content and references then revert it if you disagree? Alternatively I could add it to the Havarti talk page.
TSventon (
talk) 16:10, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon I disagree entirely because the Danish Wikipedia content is unsourced. Adding sources your way is against policy per
WP:OR. Also, the videnommad source says yes to Havarti because created by Nielsen - "Among the cheeses that Hanne Nielsen started production of was Tilsiteroste, which today is known by the name, Havarti.".
SL93 (
talk) 16:12, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SL93 my edit was not WP:OR because sources are available. Videnommad says that Nielsen started production of tilsiter cheese, but not that she invented the version of tilsiter which is now protected as havarti. As you see I have posted a sourced version at
Talk:Havarti.
TSventon (
talk) 17:15, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
TSventon Per policy, we should be referencing all sides. I'm not sure how best to get that across.
SL93 (
talk) 17:17, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
My reading of the Videnommad source is completely different. The source just says that the name of what she created was changed to Havarti = same cheese.
SL93 (
talk) 17:18, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
ALT3
TSventonALT3 ... that Danish dairy farmer Hanne Nielsen created a
Tilsit cheese for King
Christian IX of Denmark? One of us then can add your sourced content from
Havarti to here. I think that seems fair. I'm sorry if I came across as rude as well. I wasn't trying to be, but I see how it could have came across that way.
SL93 (
talk) 17:32, 2 August 2021 (UTC)reply
SL93 you weren't rude, just enthusiastic about your nomination. I admit to feeling some pressure myself.
TSventon (

IpigottSL93 I think we need to weigh up the sources, update the Hanne Nielsen and Havarti articles accordingly, then choose a hook. My interpretation is that Hanne Nielsen produced and sold cheese from her farm Havartigården in the 19th century, including Tilsiter cheese. Production of a cheese called "Danish Tilsiter" began in 1921 and, in 1952, Danish Tilsiter was named Havarti after Havartigården, in memory of Nielsen.

TSventon Can you give it a go? I'm not sure what you want to be done.

Ipigott already stated that they are fine with ALT2.

I don't think we should do an interpretation of the sources. I think that saying the sources are contradictory is good enough and isn't an error. A hook has been chosen. Weighing up the sources with our own interpretation is against policy at
WP:OR.

TSventon Please don't add unreferenced content to
Havarti per
WP:V. That doesn't help anything.

SL93 I added translated content separately to make the attribution clear. Can you let me add the content and references then revert it if you disagree? Alternatively I could add it to the Havarti talk page.

TSventon I disagree entirely because the Danish Wikipedia content is unsourced. Adding sources your way is against policy per
WP:OR. Also, the videnommad source says yes to Havarti because created by Nielsen - "Among the cheeses that Hanne Nielsen started production of was Tilsiteroste, which today is known by the name, Havarti.".

SL93 my edit was not WP:OR because sources are available. Videnommad says that Nielsen started production of tilsiter cheese, but not that she invented the version of tilsiter which is now protected as havarti. As you see I have posted a sourced version at
Talk:Havarti.

TSventon Per policy, we should be referencing all sides. I'm not sure how best to get that across.

My reading of the Videnommad source is completely different. The source just says that the name of what she created was changed to Havarti = same cheese.

TSventonALT3 ... that Danish dairy farmer Hanne Nielsen created a
Tilsit cheese for King
Christian IX of Denmark? One of us then can add your sourced content from
Havarti to here. I think that seems fair. I'm sorry if I came across as rude as well. I wasn't trying to be, but I see how it could have came across that way.

SL93 you weren't rude, just enthusiastic about your nomination. I admit to feeling some pressure myself.

SL93 I am glad to see the hook has been updated and moved up the queue. I have removed a sentence that seemed to be a duplicate, hope that is OK.
