Victuallers: Shouldn't the hook say dictated instead of written? — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 16:56, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment - I think "dictated" is the wrong terminology in the article, but I don't read Portuguese. What is described in the article is Zíbia Gasparetto acting as a Conduit (channeling) for the spirit(s). Not really dictating, but the spirits taking over both her body and consciousness, and using her as a physical vessel to write. — Maile (talk) 14:53, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure we have used the word "written" correctly since the invention of the typewriter. If you can think of a better word "composed?" then feel free to change my hook. Thanks for interest Victuallers (talk) 15:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that the Brazilian writer Zíbia Gasparetto has stated that her books are often the products of a spirit working through her?

How about this one?— Maile (talk) 19:25, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Works for me, but not as hooky as it gives the game away. I have however taken your word product and placed "produced" in the main hook. Thanks Victuallers (talk) 20:29, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

So where does this one stand? Has it been approved? To me, producing books sounds like printing or publishing. How about "some of her work was created by someone else"? --Rosekelleher (talk) 18:13, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

So it now says "created". Thanks Rose Victuallers (talk) 22:53, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that the Brazilian writer Zíbia Gasparetto says that her books were the work of someone else?

I think this maintains the mystery while respecting the source.--Ipigott (talk) 20:05, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:03, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

new enough when nominated = yes

long enough = yes

neutral = yes

sourced = yes

not plagiarized = yes, most of the sources are in Portuguese, so obviously not lifted verbatim, and the one English source was not plagiarized.

hook < 200 chars = yes

hook interesting = yes! (Btw, the English-language source, an author bio on a publishing website, actually uses the word "dictated", for whatever that's worth. Really, either word works for me.)

hook accurate = yes

hook not insulting = yes

qpq = done

image = n/a

Looks good. --Rosekelleher (talk) 15:10, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
