  • Comment @Donnie Park and Cowlibob: Can this hook be reformatted to include a link to Room (2015 film), which I recently cleaned up, expanded and referenced? Ribbet32 (talk) 20:56, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
    • For example, "... that Brie Larson won numerous awards, including the Best Actress Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award, for playing an abducted mother held captive for seven years in 2015 drama Room?" Ribbet32 (talk) 21:12, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
      • I'll give a for that hook since I prefer it better. Donnie Park (talk) 20:06, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
        • I've struck the "for example" hook, since at 209 characters it's longer than DYK allows. Also, a "the" is needed before "2015 drama" in whatever hook is ultimately used for grammatical reasons. You might want to try a new, trimmed version of it, if having a separate link to Room is that important (as opposed to having people click on the movie article once they get to the list article, which is the one we really want to feature here. I think that decision should be Cowlibob's, though having included a boatload of links already, one more at the end would seem to be less worrying than otherwise.

          • Well, do we really need to link to all those awards? I'd like to add when List of accolades received by Bridge of Spies (film) was in DYK and only Bridge of Spies was bolded, I assumed the DYK was the film's article and skipped over it- the choice of bolding doesn't make clear what the article is.

@Donnie Park, Ribbet32, and BlueMoonset: Suggested an alternate hook to recognise Ribbet32's work on the parent article.
ALT 1:... that Brie Larson won several awards including the Best Actress Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe Award, for playing an abducted mother held captive for seven years in the 2015 drama Room? Cowlibob (talk) 20:04, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
@Donnie Park, Cowlibob, and BlueMoonset: I like, thank you. As for BlueMoonset's concern that the awards article is the one we want to feature, that's obviously what the bolding is for. Ribbet32 (talk) 06:16, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
I propose ALT2 because ALT1 makes it appear that the nomination is about accolades for Brie Larson rather than the film. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:40, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
@Cwmhiraeth: That works with me. Cowlibob (talk) 20:09, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
  • This is ready to go with ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:56, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
