Pick Me!

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Pick Me! is presented and narrated by presenters of Catchphrase?

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Corruption in Equatorial Guinea

Created by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 08:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC).

• While the prose size and dates work the references do not, nor can I see the reference for the hook. Have I missed something here? The presenters are named, yes, but the fact in the hook requires the reader to know that they are the same, or so I view it. There is also a technical error in one of the citations. I'd like to see better referencing throughout. I wonder if it passes WP:GNG. Fiddle Faddle 18:58, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

It never ceases to amaze me how people manage to pull out the one statement I'm using as a DYK hook. Reinstated.--Launchballer 21:28, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

• I share Timtrent's reservations. The information contained in the hook does not appear in the article, and the body of the article does not cite any sources. Launchballer, I would be happy to review this again once you add citations to reliable sources, but at the moment, I cannot approve this nomination. Best, -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:09, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

• Adding italics to the hook, but the only source currently used is the show's network; ukgameshows is unlikely to fly based on past game show DYK nominations that failed, and the Catchphrase fact doesn't seem to stay in the article very long. This could present a stability problem. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:09, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Given the previous trio of failures I'm unwilling to waste any more time than necessary on game show nominations, however I'm going to rummage through the history to see which references were added and removed and re-add all of them.--Launchballer 06:52, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Per reviewer comments and nominator response, this hook should be rejected. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:29, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
