  • So upon reviewing this I find that ALT0 is misleading, I mean the "real events" referred to was Curry jogging past a house and saw that a "bad boy" from her son's school lived across the street. That's not "real events" in my book - the article even said it "gave her an interesting concept". Just realized the Letourneau case was also listed as inspiration. Again I would say that the DYK hook implies something stronger than "a case where a teacher had sex with her student" especially since the guy in this case was not actually a student at the school she taught at.
  • I don't find ALT1 all that interesting, it's a common sentiment for most sex scenes I believe so it's almost a generic "factoid". Is it possible to find a different DYK fact? Because that's the only thing that does not check out - it has the newness, the length, quality, QPQ etc.
  • I looked at the GA review and I cannot see anything on checking the copyright violation tool - when I do I get one site with a 92% overlap, I would have expeced there to at least be a discussion on that? Is there any way we can figure out if the site listed by the Copyviolation tool copied Wikipedia? I suspect that's the case with such a high overlap of text but I would not be doing my due diligence if I did not call this out. MPJ-US  13:07, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Side note' I am surprised to see an article this new have 6 references go through redirects. (the External Links too shows them as green). I would recommend updating the links to prevent link rot - although that's not a DYK requirement just a good idea.
  • Just looked into the copyright violation. I'm satisfied that the text was copied from Wikipedia, rather than the other way round. The 92% overlap article has a published date in the source - 8 July 2015. The article looked like this at the time - identical plot summary, rather than "Very similar" that we currently have. I'm also happy with the other ones which are either copied from Wikipedia (due to the date that the matching articles were published) or appears as quotes on Wikipedia. I do certainly agree that it should have been covered in the GA review, but I think we're fine in this instance - User:Wugapodes, take this as a learning point, make sure you're checking for copyvios when you're doing a GA review. Also, User:MPJ-DK, how about the following for an interesting hook - I think we might be good to go if you're happy with it.WormTT(talk) 10:51, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
    ALT2: ... that in The Boy Next Door the main character receives a first-edition printed copy of Homer's Iliad?
  • that is a pass. Now  MPJ-US  22:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
