Lucretia Wilhelmina van Merken

• ... that Dutch playwright Lucretia Wilhelmina van Merken (1721–1789) wrote very popular classicist tragedies, and sent an ode in French to George Washington, for which he thanked her? Source: [1]

• Reviewed: I'm on it.
• Comment: I got a few more things to clean up, no rush--I just had to get this on its way. Drmies ( talk) 00:23, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Created by Drmies ( talk). Self-nominated at 00:23, 9 October 2018 (UTC).

• A brilliantly entertaining read of a celebrated Dutch and Enlightenment figure. Created 4 October from Dutch Wikipedia, expanded since, submitted 9 October. Length, copyvio and foreign language refrenc acceptable. No Swan So Fine ( talk) 13:51, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

• @ No Swan So Fine: a QPQ is still needed for this nomination. Yoninah ( talk) 22:21, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

• Yoninah that was a QPQ review. Are you saying it wasn't a QPQ review? Could you explain what made it not a QPQ review? The Rambling Man ( talk) 22:41, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

• Seems like this QPQ lacks a QPQ. @ Drmies: you seemed to have forgot this. Juxlos ( talk) 10:13, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

• @ The Rambling Man: yes, the QPQ review covered all the criteria except the QPQ requirement. Yoninah ( talk) 11:49, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
• @ Drmies: please submit a QPQ so this nomination can move forward. Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 15:09, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

• Yoninah, sure thing--I never got the ping from a few days ago. Drmies ( talk) 03:37, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

• Yoninah, did this yesterday but forgot to note it: Template:Did you know nominations/Friedrich Entress. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 01:56, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

• QPQ done. Restoring tick per No Swan So Fine's review. Yoninah ( talk) 17:00, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

• @ Drmies: In my hurry to close the other nomination, I didn't give your QPQ a close look. A QPQ should be a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. Your review seems to focus on one sentence in the article. I'm happy to donate one of my reviews, Template:Did you know nominations/Érick Valencia Salazar, to complete this nomination.
• However, the present article is an orphan. Please link it in at least one other Wikipedia page so it won't get an orphan tag. Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 00:40, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

• Yoninah, orphan no more. On the Entress nomination, I also checked sources and did a number of copy edits. I'm not going to let you give up a review, so I'm throwing in Template:Did you know nominations/Chalfont Viaduct--verified and approved hook, citation style problems addressed. And I did a bit on Template:Did you know nominations/Phạm Thận Duật, so we can move that one along. And Template:Did you know nominations/Puisand Lai. Will that add up to a QPQ? Drmies ( talk) 01:46, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you for taking care of the orphan. Your work on Template:Did you know nominations/Puisand Lai is certainly a review, so let's credit that. (I'll take back my QPQ, thanks.) Restoring tick per No Swan So Fine's review. Yoninah ( talk) 22:16, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
