Back to Dust[edit]
- ... that the album Back to Dust was selected as one of the Rawkus Records' "Rawkus 50" campaign?
ALT1:... that the hip hop album Back to Dust features a diverse production, including jazz piano, harpsichord passages, spoken word, and a cappella sections?- Reviewed: Orissa Ikat

@3family6: Article is new enough and long enough, and appears to meet general policy guidelines. I personally favor ALT1, but can you explain why The Phantom Tollbooth is a reliable source? Also, you misspelled a cappella. QPQ done and no image to review. Johanna(talk to me!) 16:58, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- The Phantom Tollbooth is a Christian webzine with a full editorial staff, active since 1996. It is frequently referenced by other Christian media sources, and is listed on the Christian music WikiProject's reliable source list. I fixed the mispelling (Firefox doesn't think the word is spelled correctly no matter what, and I clearly missed the double-"p" in the article link).--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 23:36, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

- 3family6 Original hook doesn't match up with the article, as there is no mention of it being a "winner" of the said campaign. The alternative hook's text in the article has no inline citation at the end of the sentence. Jolly Ω Janner 03:44, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- The fifty selected albums were all winners of the campaign. I can remove the "as a winner" part if needed, though. ALT 1 is a combination of two sentences, the second one of which is cited. I guess I could violate WP:OVERCITE for DYK if asked, but I don't see why there is a need.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 03:48, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Removing "as a winner" and/or citing the sentence would give at least one acceptable hook. Jolly Ω Janner 03:53, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- I fixed the main hook as recommended. Per WP:OVERCITE, I don't think a hook that is supported by two consecutive sentences needs to have both sentences cited. This kind of thing has been approved in the past when I've had hooks that condensed whole paragraphs into a single sentence (and once, an entire article).--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:10, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- ALT0 is good to go. Citation issue still remains with ALT1, so struck. Any issues with the DYK rules or implementation of such can be taken up at Wikipedia talk:Did you know. Thanks, Jolly Ω Janner 04:17, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
