  • Comment: ALT0, "they were accepted to write it" is a bit clunky, "hired to writed it", "learned their offer to write it was accepted", "learned they would be the writers" ... -Bogger (talk) 16:56, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Terminology is a little tricky here, on account of the vagaries of the nonfiction publishing world. "Hired to write it" would be a work-for-hire, which is a very different thing, and "learned they would be the writers" at least gestures in a similar direction -- something for which the premise was decided by a third party. I'm not sure "learned their offer to write it was accepted" is less clunky. Vaticidalprophet 00:43, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
  • New enough (and quick GA too), long enough, well written and well sourced, no copyvio concern, QPQ present. AGF on synopsis. Interesting hook is really all primary sourced (quotation from news story) but still reliably sourced, and again AGF on the book source. Added slightly variation of ALT0a, just a more direct rephrasing from the article. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 15:23, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
