Jack White during his football career (1965)

• ... that German former footballer Jack White (pictured) wrote 'Looking for Freedom', the song David Hasselhoff performed atop the Brandenburg Gate in 1989? Source: Time Magazine. https://time.com/5714602/david-hasselhoff-berlin-wall-fall/

• • Err the wording should be 'German former footballer' and NOT 'former German football player'. GiantSnowman 11:29, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

    Thanks Giant this is now corrected Carrolquadrio (talk) 00:50, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

    • I think my problem is the article hasn't obviously been 5x expanded during the time period. I'm taking this diff as the last one before expansion, at 1532B, then this one as after expansion at only 6700B, or about 1,000 short. A shame, as I was hoping we could find a hook that would confuse the reader with the more famous Jack White. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:43, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

    Sorry about another problem: several paragraphs end without a reference, which is not acceptable for DYK. How about referencing properly and then nominating for GA, which will make it eligible? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:44, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

    Also: the hook needs pictured somewhere. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

• Marking for closure. Nominator states, on their talk page, that article will not be expanded to reach the required fivefold. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:35, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
