... that a "Banana woman" opposed Migros' "banana miracle"? Source: Zaslawski (2025) in NZZ: (text in german. email me for a copy if you need access to review it)
- ALT0a: ... that a "Banana woman" opposed the "banana miracle" of Switzerland's largest retail company?
- ALT1: ... that Ursula Brunner influenced retailers to apply a surcharge on bananas with the proceeds going to aid organisations in the countries of origin? Source: Kennedy (2015), p.24 (text in german)

- Comment: Please note that this article was part of a move conflict on 8 of March, which breaks the DYK check script, making it look like the article has been around since October last year when I originally created the draft. The revision in which it was actually moved to mainspace can be found here. You can ask the involved admins for more info. And thanks to User:TarnishedPath for ALT1!

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall:

Hook fact is cited, AGF. I think ALT0a works best, as it contextualizes the issue while still maintaining the banana play. Copyvio tool doesn't work very well on German sources, but it finds no issues in German. I don't see anything problematic spotchecking with Google Translate. Looks good. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:33, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
