  • Suggestion. The hook will likely generate more views for the subject article if it is simplified with fewer links .... e.g., alt 1 ... that Taylor Swift announced her upcoming album Midnights while accepting the 2022 Video of the Year award? Cbl62 (talk) 16:03, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
  • I agree, alt 1 sounds better to me. infsai (talkie? UwU) 18:54, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
  • I agree as well, alt 1 sounds better! — JuanGLP (talk) 00:12, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • The press release is causing Earwig to go insane, are you sure the whole thing needs to be in the article? QPQ not needed. Article is long enough in its current state. Hook(s) are reliably sourced. The promoter can make the decision on which hook to use. I'll be happy to check this off if my concern is addressed. —VersaceSpace 🌃 02:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • What does this mean??? — JuanGLP (talk) 12:08, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • @JuanGLP: The Earwig copyright violation detector is saying that the article contains a large excerpt from the press release, so the tool reports a false positive (saying that a copyright violation is present when that is not the case). Epicgenius (talk) 12:50, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Typically it is not best practice to include a full press release either, JuanGLP. None of the other albums that have made it to featured article status (where this one probably will one day) include one like that; examples 1989 (Taylor Swift album), Red (Taylor Swift album). Expanding beyond FAs, Reputation (album) doesn't either etc. Summarize or quote smaller portions as relevant, sure, but we don't need the whole press release at the top like that, I don't think. This is more of an editorial discussion than copyright, but my 2c. @Epicgenius: While normally a 51% rating would certainly have me suspicious, I think that this can be approved regardless given that it is a false positive considering the context; I've looked it over and the only flags are either quotes or the award show name (which is unavoidable, obviously). --TheSandDoctor Talk 13:58, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • @Epicgenius: + @TheSandDoctor: Well if it can't be a DYK, then that's okay. You should talk to Ronherry, he could be responsible for adding the quote, and I am not pointing fingers (still new to this, and yes I know I'll be my second/third year here). But I won't be disappointed if can't be DYK, I'll be okay. – JuanGLP (talk) 14:25, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • @JuanGLP: For what it's worth, the quote does not count toward this article's prose size. This is a new article and not a five-fold expansion, and the article will still be long enough for DYK even if you take the quote out. If you remove the quote, then there would no longer be an issue in regards to copyright (you can be be bold and just remove it). Epicgenius (talk) 14:30, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks for addressing my concern. —VersaceSpace 🌃 01:54, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
