  • Date and length check out OK. While the claim in the hook is not directly sourced, the sources are in the article so AGF. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 08:35, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the speedy review. Since I nominated the article, I have come across a rather cool time-lapse video showing Twinkle Toes in action. I'm trying to talk the videographer into releasing the clip with the right licence, so that we can use it on WP. Can you give me a few days, so that we can sort this out first? It's rather rare to have video available for DYK, so I'd be keen to explore this first. Schwede66 09:22, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
I like the idea of that. Since they seem to be promoting hooks quickly without reading additional notes, I'll leave this here to block early promotion. Let me know when it's ready and I'll take this off. It might also help if you use the 1st source in the article to support the claim in the intro. The C of E. God Save The Queen!

Just letting you know that the request is being considered by the copyright holders at the moment. Schwede66 00:19, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
What is the status of this request? It's been 11 days; if there isn't progress soon, we probably ought to go with the picture we have, which is pretty cool itself. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:47, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
I've exchanged several emails with the videographer, but he hasn't managed to get a definite answer out of his client. We've given them enough time. Let's go with the photo. Thanks for having accommodated this request. Schwede66 06:38, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Very well. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 09:05, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
