... that the phone number "32 16 8" mentioned in "Skandal im Sperrbezirk"'s lyrics belonged to an elderly woman who received several dubious calls shortly after the song's release?

Created by Goroth (talk). Self-nominated at 21:26, 18 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Skandal im Sperrbezirk; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

The hook fact reads like an urban legend, and something is wrong here. Your source says the lady lived in Munich, but there was no 32168 in Munich. —Kusma (talk) 16:49, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
The article itself also says the number did not exist in Munich. Perhaps better to work with "The musicians paid for several phone number changes", which seems more likely to be true. Other comments: Newly enough translated, long enough, copied from German Wikipedia with attribution via import of history, no copyvio issues visible. Article needs a thorough copyedit before it can appear on the Main Page, though. Reference 7 (Freitag) seems to be a contributed blog, not a WP:RS. Sourcing generally could be improved (what is the source for cover versions/only No. 1)? QPQ not needed. —Kusma (talk) 17:07, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ping @Goroth: hook needs changing, article needs more polishing. If you need help with the copyedit, you could try WP:GOCER, but note they are usually backlogged (just like DYK). —Kusma (talk) 08:59, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
without action from the nominator (pinging Goroth), probably time to close. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:32, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
