I have taken it upon myself to review this DYK nomination.Davidbena (talk) 14:11, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One important comment that I have to make here is that the main article mentions her having "survived the blast by hiding under dead bodies inside a bomb shelter for eight hours," when the main article gives the impression that there were several blasts on that fateful day. Perhaps the article can be amended to read "...she survided the blasts," etc.Davidbena (talk) 14:24, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by main article?--Laun chba ller 03:16, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I simply mean in the article Yuval Raphael.Davidbena (talk) 19:59, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I thought you meant the attack article. Raphael's one has been reworded a bit since I last looked at it but given that 'blasts' no longer appears in the article and the only applicable word I can see is 'grenades', I think your concern's been resolved.--Laun chba ller 04:54, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it looks good then. I, personally, think that the article is ready for DYK release, as the article is new enough, long enough, neutral and well-sourced. The hook is short-enough and is defintely "catchy." To the best of my knowledge, there are no copyright violations.Davidbena (talk) 11:45, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

Yuval is of mixed Jewish background - Iraqi, Kurdish, Libyan and Persian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hollywood9oz (talk • contribs) 21:42, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 22 March 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Yuval Raphael. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Change "she began singing professionally in 2023" to "she began singing professionally in 2025", which is when she won Eurovision and issued her first song.

The claim that she started singing professionally in 2023 is not supported by the footnote provided. To the contrary, at her first audition in late 2024 (when she sang "Anyone"), Judge/Singer Shiri Maimon comments that she (Shiri) is nervous because Yuval never sang on a stage before. (Source - The first 5 seconds of this video: https://www.google.com/search?q=yuval+raphal+all+performances+eurovision&rlz=1CDGOYI_enAU987AU987&oq=yuval+raphal+all+performances+eu&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCQgBECEYChigATIGCAAQRRg5MgkIARAhGAoYoAEyCQgCECEYChigATIJCAMQIRgKGKAB0gEJMTI2MjVqMGo0qAICsAIB4gMEGAEgXw&hl=en-GB&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:e0708f31,vid:OAEF_uI1ds8,st:0 .) This article also states that her audition was the first time Yuval sang on a professional stage. https://www.ynetnews.com/culture/article/bk3w4wx3kl#

I'd further argue it would also be inaccurate to say she started singing professionally in 2024, as most people likely wouldn't consider an audition itself to be "singing professionally" as in a career. Absent evidence of an alternate career in singing, I think it's most accurate to say she started singing professionally once she won Eurovision in 2025. Or alternatively, to phrase it as the YNet article does, that her first time singing on a professional stage was when she auditioned for the show in 2024. 14.203.158.2 (talk) 06:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to the Biography section

According to the Israeli Embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan, she is partly Azerbaijani. I think it’s worth mentioning in the relevant section.^[1] 178.240.238.161 (talk) 20:56, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
