ALT1: ... that Canadian artist Cœur de pirate's 2011 album title, Blonde, is a double entendre that refers to the singer's blonde hair and the Quebec French slang word for "girlfriend"? Any better? Tlqk56 (talk) 22:53, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
Note: added an "ALT1" header for the new hook, which is 175 characters and thus below the 200 max. However, the color of Martin's hair is not mentioned in the article, and must be added with an inline citation, as must the intentional double entendre. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:17, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
The fact and citation have been added. Thanks for pointing that out. Mr. Absurd (talk) 07:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
I think I'd prefer to put the word "title" near the beginning of the hook, otherwise it sounds awkward to me. Perhaps something like the following (with 186 characters):
ALT2: ... that the title of Canadian artist Cœur de pirate's 2011 album Blonde is a double entendre which refers to both the singer's blonde hair and the Quebec French slang word for "girlfriend"? Mr. Absurd (talk) 07:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Now that the hook is set, this needs a full review. BlueMoonset (talk) 10:12, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
A good and well written article - new and long enough and well refrenced. ALT2 hook is referenced in article. But I think the "Songs" section needs to be addressed - currently it has an {{expand section}} tag, and as per the guidelines an article "should appear to be complete and not some sort of work in progress". As I'm not familiar with the subject I'll defer to the author as to completeness of this section. Also, it appears that reference [4], "Blonde ambition", is dead already. But almost there!

I took out the expansion tag; the section is complete enough as-is to stand on its own. Also, I fixed that reference, thanks for the info. Can someone confirm this article? (I'm assuming I'm not supposed to since I'm the author). Thanks. Mr. Absurd (talk) 00:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
All is fine now, both article (having undergone a more than 5x expansion) and ALT2 hook conform to DYK rules. Editor has carried out a QPQ review, even though they weren't required to (kudos!). Good to go! Zangar (talk) 02:13, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
