... that Coupdekat recorded the vocals for "It's Not You" while trampolining? Source: https://whenthehornblows.com/content/2023/7/5/in-conversation-with-256-coupdekat

Moved to mainspace by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 23:45, 13 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Coupdekat; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The article is new enough, long enough, and appears to have no major issues. QPQ is done. The hook is interesting and cited, the only issue I have is that the fact comes from an interview with the artist. Are there other sources mentioning or showing this fact? Or could the hook be changed so it is clear the artist said this? Not influencing this review: I would recommend grouping some of source references at the end of a sentence instead of placing them after commas. – Editør (talk) 20:16, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was my understanding that a claim like that is acceptable without attribution per WP:ABOUTSELF; it is neither self-serving nor WP:EXCEPTIONAL, although perhaps it should say 'trampolining in her bed' to better reflect the source.

ALT1: ... that in August 2023, Coupdekat performed at Leeds Festival as part of Climate Live?

ALT2: ... that Coupdekat's 2022 eight-track EP Imaginary Girls is less than fifteen and a half minutes long?--Laun chba ller 04:27, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think ALT1 and ALT2 are as interesting for DYK. Adding 'on her bed' would make the claim less exceptional and the interview not so much of an issue, so I suggest changing the hook to:

ALT3 ... that Coupdekat recorded the vocals for "It's Not You" while trampolining on her bed?

Do you agree? – Editør (talk) 10:50, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fine by me. Now I think about it, the hook should probably contain some context as to who Coupdekat is, so I propose:

ALT4: ... that the British musician Coupdekat recorded the vocals for "It's Not You" while trampolining on her bed?--Laun chba ller 10:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think vocals already explains she is a musician and the quotation marks indicate it is a song title, so I will pass the hook ALT3. – Editør (talk) 11:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
