  • Aren't there more relevant hooks to use? --Conti| 21:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Agree with Conti: I think a non-Jimbo-related one would be better, perhaps something about the 'iron grip' on the diary (Blair quote). The balls one would be very "hooky" but probably a bridge too far in terms of BLP cuteness. Iron grip seems reasonable and fits the theme of the attention to detail staffer, that all the sources show.TCO (talk) 21:56, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Or maybe just something really simple like "...was Tony Blair's diary secretary". I personally hate hooks that are long, multi subject/phrase, caveated, etc. It should be "tight". This is, however, a heretical view.TCO (talk) 23:17, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

The article is at AfD. I'm not sure why this was nominated for DYK when the result isn't clear. SL93 (talk) 02:49, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Had to beat the 5 day deadline CallawayRox (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
It survived AFD. CallawayRox (talk) 17:25, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
ALT1 *... that Kate Garvey was Tony Blair's diary secretary?
Simpler, doesn't take any digs (or praises) at Jimbo Wales. Is, really, I think, most relevant aspect of the woman, and I like TIGHT hooks.TCO (talk) 14:19, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
ALT2 *... that Kate Garvey managed Tony Blair's diary with a "grip of iron"?
Little cuter, but not as likely to outrage as the "balls" part of the quote.TCO (talk) 14:19, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Article needs a full review now that it has survived AfD. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:59, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
    • I reviewed this article yesterday, but I forgot to post a review. I apologize to the creators and the nominator. Anyway, the article meets all DYK criteria - long enough, new enough, reliably referenced, and no copyright issues. I assume good faith on the reference that isn't online.

      • As always, I am neutral about what hook is promoted. SL93 (talk) 05:40, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 and ALT2 hooks are suitably referenced. I prefer ALT2. (I see I have been overtaken in the race to review this article!) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:49, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
    • That's fine. We can just say you backed up my review. SL93 (talk) 05:51, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
    • Your preferred hook should be used though. SL93 (talk) 05:55, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
