All the Lovers
[edit]- ...
that the music video for Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue's 2010 single "All the Lovers", which depicts a large flash mob of underwear-clad couples, was intended as a homage to the singer's large gay audience?
Improved to Good Article status by WonderBoy1998 (talk). Self nominated at 14:51, 22 February 2014 (UTC).
Not a 5x expansion. Expansion of prose is less than 2x since the version before WonderBoy1998 started working on it. The article is currently a GA candidate -- I suggest postponing the nomination until it passes GA. --Orlady (talk) 14:30, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. Can I withdraw the nomination? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:42, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- The nomination should be mothballed until this passes GA. I suggest that you take it off the nominations page for now, but keep this template page handy. When it's a good article, edit the line that says "5x expanded by" and "Self nominated at" to indicate that it's a new Good Article and to give the new date, then put it back on the noms page. --Orlady (talk) 15:23, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the advice! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 15:48, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Article passed GA on 21 February and has been renominated. Congrats on the GA! Nom is mostly good. The article is thoroughly footnoted, I don't see evidence of copyvio in my spot-checks, and I don't see other policy issues. The user is new to DYK, so QPQ isn't needed. My concern is that, while parts of the hook are supported by the article and sources, I can't find reference support for all of the facts in the hook. One source does support the assertion that the video was intended as homage to the gay audience, but I don't find appropriate sourcing for statements in the article that call the assembled people a "flash mob," nor is there citation support for the statements (in the hook and in the article) that the people were wearing underwear (sources do say they were taking off their clothes, but it's not clear what they had left after that). I suggest trimming the hook to remove some of the ancillary details, thus increasing interest (as well as reducing the need for additional reference citations):
- ALT1 ... that the music video for Kylie Minogue's 2010 single "All the Lovers" was intended as homage to the singer's gay audience? --Orlady (talk) 19:03, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
- First of all, thanks! Secondly, the people were definitely wearing underwear since it is a direct claim from the video. Thirdly, I do think the hook you have suggested is much better, since it looks concise and better formed, all the while retaining a sense of interest. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 05:43, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
I didn't watch the video; I looked for descriptions of it as sourcing. In any event, since the nominator accepts ALT1 and since ALT1 is merely a trimmed version of the original hook (so I can approve it), it's good to go. --Orlady (talk) 00:28, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for your effort and approval! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 11:23, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
