... that the Soft and Hard Adult Film and Television Awards are the only pornographic film awards in the UK to have winners determined by public votes?

Date, content, hook, and QPQ check out, but I'm only counting 1237 characters of actual prose, making it too short for DYK. It needs a little more to get it over that 1,500 mark. Canadian Paul 16:38, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing and pointing that out - I've found a couple new references and have expanded it to over 1700 characters including spaces. Let me know if there are any other problems. Freikorp (talk) 23:37, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

It now technically meets the length requirement, but only because of the addition of a lengthy quote. Per the supplementary guidelines, block quotes are excluded from the length count. While this is technically not a block quote, it is long enough that it may violate the spirit of the guidelines, which is that the 1,500 words should primarily consist of original material. I am going to let someone else take a look at this and pass or fail at their discretion, especially since I don't know when I'll have internet access again (might be Sunday, might be two weeks from today).

As previously stated, I expanded the article to over 1700 characters. I have since reduced the size of the quote by more than half, and also reduced the explanation of who the quote is attributed to, and I still count 1592 characters of prose. Freikorp (talk) 22:56, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm happy enough with the length of the article and the quote. The length and date of creation both check out fine. I've carried out a few minor copy-edits on the article, but nothing that would provide a COI. Checks for copyvio reveal no problems, and the hook is appropriately referenced inline. Good to go.
