- Reviewed: Anti-gender movement
- Comment: There are many contributors to the article and I'm unsure on how to properly credit them.

- Drive-by comment, but since the actual name of the song is "WAP", the hook should be phrased as "
..."WAP" (an acronym for "wet-ass pussy")...

- Pretty sure we can expand the acronym to make the hook more interesting? Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ♥) 21:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Length, hook, QPQ checks out. Tested a few sentence for copyvio, no problem found. Should have been listed under Aug 4, but no problem. For the hook however, 1) please mention that it is a U.S. politician, we aren't supposed to presume that every story is about the US unless specified and 2) I'd prefer a slight reword, since Bradley isn't that prominent (the wiki page on him got deleted), perhaps just writing "a U.S. Republican candidate criticized..."? --Soman (talk) 11:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

reopening this due to issues raised at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Queue_3. Pinging Yoninah, Soman, Nice4What, Morgan695, Lk95 who were involved with the nomination and also Evrik, Valereee, Maile66 and Bait30 who commented in the WT:DYK thread. Please continue the discussion here, and find consensus for a hook which can be re-promoted. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 08:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Interesting that there was an initial comment about this exact issue. FWIW, Nice4What, I don't actually think using the word pussy in the hook makes it more interesting. It really only provides shock value, which isn't the same thing. I think the hook is just as interesting without it. —valereee (talk) 16:17, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

- I don't know about the specific protocols at DYK, but I didn't think it needed to be reopened. It seems like there as a consensus to change it to "WAP", so I figured it would be a quick change. So yes, this ALT1 is good. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 17:24, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

@Evrik, Bait30, and Morgan695: This was closed quick... Can I alter it for context? Alt2 "... that Republican politician James P. Bradley criticized Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's dirty rap song "WAP", stating that it made him want to "pour holy water" in his ears?"

- I don't think that's really necessary. The hook was approved as-is, and the only change that needed to be made was a factual one (changing the hook to have the actual title). The wording/structure was fine. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 02:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
