May Who?

[edit]
  • ... that the title of 2015 Thai teen flick May Who? is derived from the label used in Thailand when they do not know which person named May they are referring to?

Created by 001Jrm (talk). Self-nominated at 00:12, 23 May 2016 (UTC).

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts have inline citations but the original hook is a bit wordy and I think ALT1 is better. The article is neutral and I did not detect any copyright issues in the English language sources I could access. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Per the source, shouldn't it be:
  • ALT2: ... that the main character of the 2015 Thai teen flick May Who? is inspired by director Chayanop Boonprakob's diary from his teenage years? Yoninah (talk) 21:38, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
  • From my understanding, the story line (teenage problems, school life) was also inspired by the director's diary (his memories in high school). It just happens that the main character "...is so close to his personal life". I may be too close to the subject though, and I might be mistaken; so I'm fine with the ALT hook. Thank you! 001Jrm (talk) 23:56, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
  • @001Jrm: I've read the sources you provided for each statement, and it appears that you can either write that the story line was inspired by Chayanop Boonprakob's own teenage years, or that the main character was inspired by the diary. Please choose. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:08, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
  • In all honesty, I'm fine with both hooks. They're similar hooks to me anyways. If I were to choose, though, I'd say ALT1... I guess? just because... but Can I just let the promoter choose instead? 001Jrm (talk) 05:22, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
*OK, here are the choices, restated as ALT3 and ALT4.
  • ALT3: ... that the story line of the 2015 Thai teen flick May Who? was inspired by director Chayanop Boonprakob's own teenage years?
  • ALT4: ... that the main character of the 2015 Thai teen flick May Who? was inspired by director Chayanop Boonprakob's diary from his teenage years?
  • Since I tweaked the information in ALT4, I'll leave it to another reviewer to approve this. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 16:52, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
    ALT3 and 4 are supported by the source. Good to go. Random86 (talk) 02:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
