Sony Pictures Entertainment hack

[edit]

Sony Pictures Plaza in Culver City, California

Created by Everymorning (talk), Masem (talk). Nominated by George Ho (talk) at 23:33, 17 December 2014 (UTC).

  • The information keeps changing, making original hook and ALT1 less desirable. --George Ho (talk) 22:06, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
  •  Doing... Jim Carter 16:54, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Full review still needed. (Previous reviewer said it would be done by next day, and hasn't edited in the two days since that self-imposed deadline was missed.) BlueMoonset (talk) 20:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
  • There are ALT2 and more ALTs that I added. George Ho (talk) 07:26, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
  • striking all long (ineligible) hooks. 18302 characters. Article created by Everymorning on December 15, 2014. Earwig's Copyvio Detector about 20 links with > 40% copyvio, checked manually first 10 are false alerts (quotations are used in the article) or wikimedia mirrors.

ALT2: "unreleased films". Where is this fact explicitly stated? Annie, Mr. Turner, Still Alice and To Write Love on Her ... are all released films. ALT7: In 27 minute interview, can you tell at what minute is 47,000 mentioned? --Redtigerxyz Talk 11:42, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

  • I added "previously" in ALT2; I added ALT9. --George Ho (talk) 20:50, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
I am still unsure where ALT2 is mentioned in the article. I am unable to verify the part "hackers' threatening message to whoever would watch a 2014 film" of ALT9. Also "300+ theatres" is different "approximately 300" (more or less 300), please make it consistent in hook and article. --Redtigerxyz Talk 06:05, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
It was released in more than 300; see Box Office Mojo. --George Ho (talk) 06:14, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
I was asked on my talk page to help come up with a hook. How about ALT10: "... that although the FBI has blamed North Korea for the hacking of private information belonging to Sony Pictures Entertainment, some cybersecurity experts remain skeptical about whether North Korea was responsible?" Everymorning talk 13:46, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Everymorning, I'm striking ALT10, as it is 212 characters. The absolute maximum is 200, but hooks should really be shorter than that. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:29, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

BlueMoonset and Redtigerxyz, here are more ALTs:

I have trouble writing a shorter hook, so I searched for anything else hook-y instead. George Ho (talk) 05:47, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

"pre-civil rights era films" denote that these films were made in "pre-civil rights era", which is inaccurate. They are about or set in the "pre-civil rights era".Redtigerxyz Talk 19:11, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
I fixed that. George Ho (talk) 23:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Striking ALT12. The golden 200 char rule. ALT11 is passed. Modified hook slightly. Image copyright is ok, but personally I don't think it will look good as DYK image. Redtigerxyz Talk 05:56, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Pulled from prep by Maile per discussion at WT:DYK; ALT11 deemed too confusing. (I agree.) Suggesting a new ALT hook based on ALT7 that's only 172 characters (152 without "(building pictured)") and covered by the inline source:
ALT13 seems okay. Cited to this and this respectively. Good to go on Redtigerxyz's review. Fuebaey (talk) 11:24, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
