Václav Kopecký

Created by Buidhe (talk). Self-nominated at 15:21, 16 March 2020 (UTC).

  • New, properly written, no close paraphrasing or copyright issues, long enough, neutral and properly sourced. Both hooks verified, preference for ALT0, which is catchy and arguably interesting to more people. Dahn (talk) 08:23, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook fact (and the sentence in the article) is not representing the source correctly. He did not attack Jews as Zionists and cosmopolitans, but as foreign, bourgeois, and unassimilated. Here is the source: He repeatedly spoke out against Zionism and cosmopolitanism—depicting Jews as foreign, bourgeois, and unassimilated—and denounced their presence in party positions.

  • @Yoninah: Thanks for catching that. How about "ALT2: ... that the Czechoslovak Communist politician Václav Kopecký "distinguished himself with antisemitic diatribes" and was described as "the party ideologue of show trials"?" Additional source in the article. buidhe 21:47, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @Buidhe: thank you for tidying the article. I'd like to suggest that instead of putting two quotes in the hook, you combine the two anti-semitic examples of his behavior, as follows:
  • ALT3: ... that the Czechoslovak Communist politician Václav Kopecký "distinguished himself with antisemitic diatribes" and stage-managed an antisemitic show trial? Yoninah (talk) 19:16, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
  • I am fine with ALT3. Thanks! buidhe 19:17, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I'll restore the tick per Dahn's review. Yoninah (talk) 19:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
