  • I'll review this one by tomorrow evening. On the basics: it's new enough, long enough, and QPQ is done. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 03:43, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Scanning for any sourcing/policy issues, none jump out. Spot checking a few claims to sources checks out (minor thing might be that the source cited for it being "first performed" at The Pleasance doesn't verify that it was the first time it was performed, but that's not relevant to the hooks here).
  • Hooks:
  • I think the subject of the first hook is probably "hookiest" but I worry a little about making a claim of Netflix's motivation cited just to what the subject said in an interview. Like, maybe that was her interpretation rather than actually why? A quick search doesn't turn up another source which makes the connection.
    ALT2 says "first black nominee" while the source says "first black woman".
    ALT1 is a bit long, and IMO least interesting of the three.
  • In sum, I think we're good here. Just a matter of figuring out the hook. My order of preference would be the first hook if another source can be found or ALT2 with a wording adjustment per above. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ugh, ALT2 was wrong—you're right. Changed to "first black woman nominee". I kind of agree with you about ALT0 but tried to word it in a very straightforwardly true way in the hook: she definitely does talk about dick on the show (I can cite the show itself for this–specifically the fourth episode, "D**k"). Would the rewording below help? Maybe I need to change what is said in the article as well. I did look but I don't think any other sources mention this.
    As for the Pleasance being the first performance, I can see the concern but I am very confident in this one. The source cites Hughes saying in a tweet "Tickets for my new show are available NOW" so it is a new routine at the time (it would be quite rare to repeat a routine for the Fringe, I think).

  • @Bilorv: Ok. So my preference is for ALT3 at this point, with second choice for ALT2 (although anything you can do to trim that would be good -- it's pushing up against the limit). Two other things: in this context, I think it's clearer to say "the word dick" or "the word 'dick'". I went ahead and made that change, presuming it's ok, but change it again if you're not ok with that. Second, I'm assuming that this hook is covered by WP:NOTCENSORED. I feel like I've seen some cases of "shocking" material changed specifically for the main page, but will defer to the promoting admin to make that call. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 06:31, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yep, "the word dick" is good with me. I've had a hook go through with a quote "fuck you" which in hindsight was not really integral to the point of the hook, whereas this hook is on a show which contains the word dick throughout and is largely about penises, so I would be surprised if someone complained. — Bilorv (talk) 10:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • good to go for ALT3 (or ALT2 if necessary per above). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 06:31, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Add a short description to the top of the article.
  • "released in December 2020" - be specific for the lead.
    • As in, "on 22 December 2020"? — Bilorv (talk) 21:00, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Netflix Is a Joke" → "Netflix Is A Joke" (actual title)
  • "in order to" → "to" (less wordy)
  • "Hughes landed a role in Netflix's History of Swear Words (January 2021) while waiting to film To Catch a D*ck: she said that "Now that Netflix knew about my show ... they were like, 'Well, maybe London could talk about dick on this'". The fourth episode of the series, "D**k", is about the word dick." - Try merging the sentences → "While waiting to film To Catch a D*ck, Hughes made an appearance in Netflix's History of Swear Words (January 2021); the fourth episode, in which she appeared, is about the word dick."
    • Hmm, the meaning I'm trying to get across is quite nuanced. They approached her for History of Swear Words thinking the episode about the word dick would be perfect for her (because of this special's title and themes), but she appears in every episode of the series. How about: While waiting to film To Catch a D*ck, Hughes landed a role in Netflix's History of Swear Words, the fourth episode of which is about the word dick; she appears in all six episodes, which were released in January 2021. — Bilorv (talk) 21:00, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
