Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?[edit]

(

~~... that in 2014, Roz Chast's graphic memoir Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant? about her parents in their final years won the inaugural Kirkus Prize of $50,000?~~

@Vivvt: - The article is long enough, new enough, sufficiently sourced in the article. The hook is present in the article and sourced. QPQ looks okay. No copyright violations detected. I also checked the picture and it has a sufficient Fair Use claim as well. All good but one thing, the hook is kinda hard to read like it is one giant run-on sentence. It would have to be rewritten to be more gramatically correct. MPJ-DK 16:17, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

ALT 1: ~~... that in 2014, Roz Chast's graphic memoir Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant? about her parents in their final years was #1 New York Times Bestseller?~~
@MPJ-DK: I have changed the original hook and provided another hook. Please let me know if you need further changes. - Vivvt (Talk) 18:48, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

@Vivvt: I took the liberty of suggesting some copyedited versions of the suggested hooks. Same content but I believe they sound better with slight tweaks? Tell me what you think. MPJ-DK 23:03, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Copyedit hooks

ALT0a ... that Roz Chast's graphic memoir Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, which depicted her parents in their final years, won the inaugural Kirkus Prize of $50,000 in 2014?
ALT1a ... that Roz Chast's graphic memoir Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, about her parents in their final years, was #1 New York Times Bestseller in 2014?

@MPJ-DK: I find ALT0a better. Thanks for your suggestions. - Vivvt (Talk) 03:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

- then I approve ALT1a - I am fairly confident that since I just did a copy edit (no different than doing it in a Prep area) I can still approve the hook. MPJ-DK 12:16, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

@MPJ-DK: Your last comment is a bit confusing. Could you clarify precisely which hook you are approving. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:00, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth sorry I thought I stated Alt1a?? MPJ-DK 21:46, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

@MPJ-DK: You did, but it seemed quite a strange comment after the nominator had stated they preferred ALT0a. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:19, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
