  • Comment: Trying not to have a promotional-sounding hook

Created by SNUGGUMS (talk). Moved to mainspace by IndianBio (talk). Nominated by Feminist (talk) at 15:03, 15 May 2017 (UTC).

  • I personally don't think that's a particularly interesting hook compared to something like this: "Did you know that copies of Katy Perry's album Witness will be distributed with tickets for its accompanying tour?" (see [2]). Also, while I am the original article creator, IndianBio is the one who moved it to mainspace. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:52, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I've thought of using something like this, but such a hook may sound promotional to some editors (promotes the tour), and DYK in general is quite strict with such hooks. I'll leave this up to the reviewer to decide. Also, I think DYK credits the editor who did the most work, even though you technically didn't move this to mainspace. feminist 15:56, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I think the ALT1 suggested by Snuggums really works. The original hook is pretty basic as its the same kind of schtick all pop stars say. —IB [ Poke ] 16:42, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
  • BlueMoonset, do you by any chance have the time to review this? Otherwise, it would really help to find someone who can. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:13, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Snuggums, I do not have time to review it, but I have included it on the DYK talk page list of the oldest nominations needing a reviewer. Hopefully, someone will see it there and take this on. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:21, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  • I have been working on reviewing this article and almost everything checks out - new enough, long enough, and neutral with no copyright violations. However, if we're going with ALT1, I don't see it in the article. I also don't think that YouTube should be used as a reference in this case. SL93 (talk) 19:14, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  • SL93, see this announcement (which is used in the article) for the ALT1 hook, and the text can be found under the "Promotion" section: On May 15, Perry confirmed the album would be titled Witness and would be released through Capitol Records on June 9, 2017. She also announced that the concert tour supporting the album, titled Witness: The Tour, would run in North America from September 2017 to February 2018. Tickets purchased would include a copy of the album. Hope this helps, and ALT1 is highly preferable. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:46, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  • What I mean is that the hook makes it seem like all album copies will come with tickets, but rather it's that the purchase of a ticket gets someone a copy of the album. SL93 (talk) 19:52, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  • That sounds fine to me. Also, the YouTube link should be fine on second thought. SL93 (talk) 21:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
