~~... that The Play That Goes Wrong actor Henry Lewis played the role of Riddlemaster in ITV's Riddiculous?~~ Source: https://www.lancs.live/news/celebs-tv/first-glimpse-ranvir-singh-henry-25044309

- Comment: I wrote Henry Lewis (playwright) myself and invaded Riddiculous from Max263's userspace.

(copied from Talk:Riddiculous): Sounds good. Thanks for helping with Riddiculous, and I think this is a good hook. Max263 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both articles are DYK eligible and I didn't detect any close paraphrasing. The hook facts are cited inline in both articles and are verified in the source. QPQ check says you have five DYK credits: can you confirm if these were your own nominations, or were they just credits? If you have five DYK nominations, you need to review another DYK nomination to provide a QPQ (in this case, as you've nominated two articles, you need to give two QPQs). I also have reservations about the hook: it doesn't seem to be intriguing to readers who are unfamiliar with The Play That Goes Wrong (like I am). Can other hooks be proposed here that may have broader appeal? If a double hook is not feasible, I could suggest proposing two separate hooks: one for Lewis and one for Riddiculous.

- Democracy in Iraq and 2019 UK Seniors Championship. I have less than two minutes left on my library computer; I'll come up with hooks when I get back indoors.--Laun chba ller 16:42, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    - ~~... that Riddiculous riddlemaster Henry Lewis cofounded Mischief Theatre while studying a drama foundation course at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art?~~--Laun chba ller 04:45, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I'll have to think this over but it doesn't really seem that intriguing. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:22, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I can't get behind the notion that Riddiculous is DYK-eligible – all of the prose is sourced to the first episode of the show. Another source is an ITV press release, and the final source doesn't look like reputable journalism either. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think I'm going to be able to do much to Riddiculous. Either run a hook with it unbolded or ask Max263.--Laun chba ller 11:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - There just aren't really enough sources available, so it might be best to run the DYK with Riddiculous unbolded. Max263 (talk • contribs) 12:47, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Launchballer, the reviews above from Narutolovehinata5 indicated that neither of the proposed hooks were sufficiently intriguing. Please propose a new ALT hook. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: If a new hook is not proposed within a reasonable timeframe, the nomination may be marked for closure for lack of a suitable hook. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:27, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 ... that Riddiculous Riddlemaster Henry Lewis has appeared in The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Magic Goes Wrong and The Goes Wrong Show?--Laun chba ller 03:14, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be best for another reviewer to take a look at the new hook. I've struck the original two but I'm still mixed on the new one, so perhaps a fresh set of eyes can give a fresh look here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:52, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

for ALT2 (which I've bolded above). The hook is interesting enough, in my opinion, and is verified by inline citations. Rest of the review as per Narutolovehinata5 above. 97198 (talk) 22:28, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Awards and nominations need to be cited. SL93 (talk) 08:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
