A Written Testimony

Created/expanded by Nice4What (talk). Self-nominated at 13:24, 8 February 2020 (UTC).

  • New enough (started Feb 7), long enough if only barely (1,560 characters), neutral, solidly cited, and free from copyvio issues/no close paraphrasing detected on spotcheck. Hook is short enough (173 characters) and interesting enough to a broad audience. Hook has two parts: that a sequel was announced in 2007 (stated in article, cited to source 2, mentioned in source 2) and that the new album began recording December 2019, (stated in article, cited to claims made by Jay Electronic as cited in source 6). However, per DYK guidelines, the sentence in the article from which the hook pulls its information needs to be followed directly by a citation, so ref 6 needs to be duplicated at the end of "beginning on December 26, 2020." (Also, I assume this is just a typo but that should be December 26, 2019, should it not?) QPQ technically done, no image to worry about. I might also suggest changing "debut project" in the hook to "first mixtape" to 1) decrease the repition of the word "debut" in the hook and 2) clarify what that initial project actually was. Nice4What, close, just a little bit still to do. —Collint c 15:53, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
@Bobamnertiopsis: Does this sound better? ALT1: "... rapper Jay Electronica began recording for his debut album A Written Testimony in December 2019, despite announcing a sequel to his first mixtape thirteen years ago?"

Yep, looks good! Hook fact cited to 6 now and ALT1 looks good! —Collint c 02:21, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
