A fact from Marc Fogel appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 January 2023 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that American teacher Marc Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in Russian prison for possessing a small amount of marijuana, but has gotten little public attention compared to
Brittney Griner?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that American teacher Marc Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in Russian prison for possessing a small amount of marijuana, but has gotten little public attention compared to
Brittney Griner? Source: “In May, the State Department determined that Griner was being “wrongfully detained,” a designation that established the legal basis for her release this week in a one-for-one prisoner exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.Fogel, by contrast, has garnered little public attention. The State Department has not granted him “wrongfully detained” status, despite repeated appeals from a bipartisan group of lawmakers and Fogel’s lawyers.”
Politico
policy: article is sourced and neutral. earwig returns a 41.2% similarity rate with the sportsgrail source, which appears to have been published on the same day that this nomination was made, so it is likely that the sportsgrail copied from wikipedia without attribution. earwig shows nothing else of concern.
qpq: provided.
hooks: hook is under 200 characters, interesting, accurate enough, cited, and neutral. technically, fogel was sentenced for drug trafficking rather than marijuana possession, but attempting to make this more clear within the limited space of a hook may end up leading to more confusion.
points outside of the dyk criteria:
the article was tagged as a stub when the prose consisted of only two sentences, but i think the tag no longer applies.
the washington post source mentions that fogel was "home in Pennsylvania for the summer break in 2021", so i am not sure if he has been living in russia since 2012. the cited time source states that he had been working in moscow since 2012, but does not appear to explicitly state that he had been living there since 2012 as well.
would the article on
hostage diplomacy be an appropriate target for the "wrongfully detained" link?
the second instance of "wrongfully detained" is enclosed in curly quotation marks, contrary to
mos:curly.
the cited time source appears in the list of references twice.
alt0 approved.
