- Comment: showing up as just over 3x expanded, but some of the earlier edits made in the last day or so removed a chunk of blacklisted stuff (that has been there ten years and so I assume was fine back then), I think I worked it out right with the bytes I noted. the chunky tables don't affect it - but happy to work on it more, send for a (quick?) GANR. I can also come up with more hooks (while I like alt0, it and alt6 may fall foul of PLOT, while someone could probably work out a punnier wording for alt7). aiming for a Christmas set if they're still needing one.

Overall: 
I looked at the edits made in the last few days, and considered that blacklisted material had to be removed. When I looked at the expansion of the prose (excluding the "Track listing", "Personnel", "Charts and certifications", and "Release history" sections) I see that the article was about 6588 characters before expansion, and 21827 afterwards, below the 5x expansion requirement on DYK. I think the community will need to decide if they want to WP:IAR so this hook can be promoted to the Christmas hook set, possibly by opening a discussion on WT:DYK. I am also happy to post the request on your behalf, explaining my rationale. This will all be moot if the article is promoted to GA.
In terms of hooks, I like ALT7 the best, but remove the word "actually". All the hooks are cited and can be used. Z1720 (talk) 03:40, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Z1720: Thanks :) I wrote down 6494 for the bytes pre-expansion, but that's still short. I'd presumably ask at DYK talk to see if someone would pick up doing a GA review, I don't think it would be reasonable to add any more to the article (without getting too detailed and too broad). I have removed "actually" from alt7 (personally, I am disappointed in that hook, because I still have yet to work out a hook-y way of noting that "Last Christmas" was last Christmas).
