QPQ not needed, new enough, long enough, passes earwig. Hook is cited. Prose somewhat clunky and could use some copy-editing. --evrik (talk) 04:23, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Evrik: AshMusique edited the lead. Is it okey now? Eurohunter (talk) 16:07, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- (ec)@Evrik: However, the hook needs more work. It's a lyric video, not a music video. If that's the angle they want to take, they could write something like:
- ALT1:
... that the lyric video for "Angels Ain't Listening" by Basshunter features a mentally-unstable man modeled after Joaquin Phoenix's characterization in the 2019 film Joker?Yoninah (talk) 18:07, 8 July 2020 (UTC) - ALT1a: ... that the video for "Angels Ain't Listening" by Basshunter features a mentally-unstable man modeled after Joaquin Phoenix's 2019 portrayal of the Joker?
- Okay, I looked at the video, and thought it as a subtitled music video. I'm okay with Alt1. What about 1a? --evrik (talk) 18:15, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Evrik: That's fine. Yoninah (talk) 18:17, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
Leaving choice of hook to the promoter. --evrik (talk) 18:22, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- I disagree. ALT0 is not worded correctly nor according to the source, and your version reads much more smoothly than mine. Striking the ones not to use. Yoninah (talk) 18:44, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- Per WP:DYK#Cited hook, "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact." To satisfy this requirement, I made a duplicate citation immediately after the sentence with the hook fact. The source is in Swedish, but the Google translation seemed pretty clear.
