... that the chamber choir Oreya(pictured) chose the spiritual anthem Prayer for Ukraine, published in 1885, as the first track and title of their 2000 album? Source: several
Comment: This article expansion is the labour of love of many authors. I try one hook, biased of course as I took the picture which appeared already on DYK in 2016. I'd like to see Ukrainian people pictured, rather than a music sheet. It also shows them European but in folk appearance. - As for expansion: we started at 660 characters, and at present (but I'm sure it will grow) are at 4196, but DYKcheck seems to look at an in-between version which had a text version presented as prose. The article is now expanded enough, and GA also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:53, 4 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, and sure more sensational. "hymn" is often understood as a church song, which would be right for this one but not enough, - perhaps no description? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:19, 28 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
An absolutely beautiful piece. Article underwent a 6.4x expansion in the two days before nomination (and was promoted to Good Article status four days after nomination), and is long enough, sourced, neutral, and plagiarism-free. I'd recommend hedging The anthem is sung at the end of meetings of by throwing a "some" in there (unless it's not needed? The sourcing seems like it points to individual examples of these). ALT1a is verified to Variety, and it is cited inline and interesting. QPQ checks out. In short, this meets all of the DYK criteria :) unfortunately, I'm still placing this on hold pending the resolution of SL93's RfC. If there is consensus to run this hook, we'll be good to go with ALT1a! your virtual hugs have been received and appreciated :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 08:14, 7 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Earwig shows only the lyrics, not unsurprisingly, are found elsewhere; I randomly googled a number of sentences from the article and they also came up nowhere except this article. The audio sample complies with WP:FUR and WP:NFC/Audio.
SN, thank you for fast but thorough reading! I don't quite know what you want for the recordings refs which I have frequently seen for classical music, and we even have this template for them. They open detailed entries on WorldCat. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 4 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

In the Lyrics section there is an English "Literary translation by Dmytro Shostak." Is there more information available somewhere as to who he is and when he did the translation? Is there a reference we can add? I've done a brief Google search but didn't find anything logical. papageno (talk) 02:31, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
