Overall: @Launchballer: The hook and the article imply that the album won an actual award for the "annoying delivery," although the cited source seems to jokingly describe such an award as a hyperbolic way of saying it was annoying. I am not sure the hook, in its current form, can be allowed on the main page as it doesn't seem to be exactly factual. The text in the article should probably also be changed to clarify that there was no actual award. Graearms (talk) 18:58, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that the way one publication received an advance copy of Don't Tell the Dog led them to describe it as "the most annoying album delivery we’ve probably ever had"?--Launchballer 19:52, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Launchballer, I don't think such a meaningless throwaway line deserves to be in an encylopedia, let alone a DYK section. What's next? ... that Don't Tell the Dog's creator likes to throw it at people and go, there it is? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:20, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
ALT2: ... that the name of James Marriott's second album took its name from an incident involving a childhood move?--Launchballer 18:58, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
I approve ALT2. I think it is interesting and it is verified in the inine citation source, although I tweaked the hook for clarity as I initially did not understand it. It would also be helpful if next time you could include the source/quote in the DYK nomination, as it took me a bit to find it and the quote in the source verifying the info. But anyway, ALT2 is approved and as QPQ has been done and there are no copyright issues etc, it is good to go. Yay! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:19, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
Hooks aren't supposed to be edited after proposal, so I put that back; your hook was ALT2a: ... that the name of James Marriott's second album took its name from an incident involving dog behind left behind during a childhood location move?--Launchballer 20:24, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
Where does it say that? I always see editors and reviewers tweak hooks. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:35, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
Actually, that wasn't quite what I was trying to say, but WP:DYKTRIM says be careful not to introduce new facts that require independent verification. Your edit introduced 'dog left behind'. I purposefully left that part out per WP:DYKNOM (which really needs to be copied into the Guidelines, but anyway): Successful hooks [...] give readers enough context to understand the hook, but leave enough out to make them want to learn more..--Launchballer 20:47, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Review needed for ALT2. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:57, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
