The Little Things Give You Away[edit]
... that "The Little Things Give You Away" berates George W. Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina?
Created by Launchballer (talk). Self nominated at 20:37, 28 April 2014 (UTC).
In general, this article is new enough and long enough and the hook is cited, but Bush did not actually handle the hurricane did he? I would like to suggest as a better hook
- ALT1 ... that "The Little Things Give You Away" berates George W. Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:49, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- For no reason other than the fact that you can't approve your own hooks:
- ALT2:
... that "The Little Things Give You Away" "coolly torpedoes George W. Bush's petty, disastrous arrogance" regarding Hurricane Katrina?--Launchballer 13:10, 14 May 2014 (UTC)- I don't understand your comment but you can't use ALT2, its not in the article. I will leave someone else to finalise what hook should be used. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:02, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
New reviewer needed for ALT1 hook, and also to check neutrality and close paraphrasing, since those weren't covered in the original review. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:58, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
Good work, Launchballer, for taking a contested article and making it Wikipedia-worthy! The history, though, shows that you did not create the article, but expanded it from the last time User:Danielhj cut it down. On that date, March 25, the character count stood at 524 characters. You started your expansion on April 28, which is fine for your DYK nomination date. But your expansion did not add 5x to the page, and even if I count from today's word count, which is 2,123 characters, the article is still 497 characters short of a 5x expansion.

- Um, I started the article from scratch - I didn't even know the old content was there until just a minute ago. I'm sure when I checked the history all that was there was a redirect. I can probably add another 497 characters to it, but surely it would count as a new article? That's what DYK check is telling me, anyway.--Launchballer 23:12, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
