Comment:

Elevator pitch to increase appeal of subject matter

Many years ago, European royal families were the most powerful politicians of their countries. Compare that to today, where (aside from Pope Francis) royalty serve as figureheads in kingdoms such as Belgium and Sweden. Or, in the case of the United Kingdom, you have a family of princes as the ultimate form of soft power, appealing to the masses worldwide through their charity work and family milestones.

Arguably, nowhere is this soft power more popular (at least for now) than in the form of Prince William, on deck to be king of the birthplace of the English language, the Great White North, Down Under, and 12 other countries. By presenting this article on Did you know, readers will learn much more about the public's fascination with this prince on the big screen and small screen alike. From two films on his wedding to a documentary on his advocacy for climate change, there will be plenty of intrigue and critique that will not disappoint!

Finally, as a more serious comment, I would like to note that this page's parent article appeared on Did you know less than a year ago as of this post. If this affects eligibility, please let me know.

I've moved the article to bring it in line with MOS:COMMA, and edited this page accordingly. Ham II (talk) 07:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not a review, but I like ALT3: ALT1 is okay, and ALT2 and ALT4 are not as interesting in my opinion. Maybe it's not too surprising but I think it arouses interest in: why were they parodying his marriage ceremony? What happened? Mrfoogles (talk) 04:30, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Also not a review, but I think ALT3 won't work, since readers would expect it to be about the article "Royal Pudding". I think ALT0 is the best, if only for the hilarity of the phrase "Prince Wheeliam". — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 16:50, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: New enough, long enough. Prose is rough, though not to the point of ineligibility. Image is less clear than it could be, as the people in the background are distracting. My preference is for ALT0 or ALT2, though ALT3 could work with a piped link to the episode where it says "an episode". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:49, 21 September 2024 (UTC) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:49, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492: Thank you very much for conducting the review. Given the opinions expressed on this page, would we please be able to use ALT0 as the hook for the Main Page? Also, please let me know if I need to modify anything before the nomination moves forward. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 18:52, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On my end, there's nothing. Someone will promote the hook in due time (depends on the balance of topics, age of nominations, etc. ... hooks can sit for a bit, even after approval). I agree that ALT0/Original is probably best, based on discussion here. As for you... no, everything should be good to go. If there are any issues, people have been raising them at WT:DYK, but they try to ping when that happens. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:55, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
