(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Philip Seymour Hoffman (pictured) was nominated for 5 BAFTAs, 5 Golden Globe Awards, and 3 Tony Awards?

Improved to Good Article status by Dr. Blofeld (talk), Loeba (talk). Nominated by Matty.007 (talk) at 19:56, 2 March 2014 (UTC).

• Thanks for nominating this, but could we try and think of a more interesting hook? How about..

Alternative:

• ... that one of Philip Seymour Hoffman's (pictured) praised performances came for his role as a pervert who masturbates while telephoning women?

Or something like that! --Loeba (talk) 21:16, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

• I know that Wikipedia is not censored, but I feel that we can find a hook that shows him in a better light. Thanks, Matty.007 21:25, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Okay what about something along the lines of...

Alternative 2:

• ... that Philip Seymour Hoffman (pictured) stayed in character constantly while filming Capote?

Thanks for the good-faith nomination. However, someone forgot to add the ITN Talk, a standard procedure for articles that appeared as part of In the News. It was a big news to everyone at the Main Page. Fortunately, I added the ITN Talk in the talk page. Under the rules, articles that appeared in ITN are no longer eligible for DYK, and that's final. I knew that we should have a separate section of GAs. --George Ho (talk) 22:57, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
