Kurt and Sid

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the English play Kurt and Sid is about Sid Vicious trying to convince Kurt Cobain not to kill himself?

• Reviewed: National Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party – Yemen Region
• Comment: I tried to expand this as much as I could with the sources that I could find without adding fluff.

• Hook: Plot-centric hooks are generally not for DYK (see DYKSG C6). Perhaps ALT1: ... that a cardboard box in Kurt and Sid, about Sid Vicious trying to convince Kurt Cobain not to kill himself, has been described as having more empathy than the script?

Article: New enough, long enough. Referencing is up to DYK standards, as is reference formatting. No images (though I intend to fix that). Paraphrasing checks to follow. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:29, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Paraphrasing checks: 1, 2 look fine.

Summary: Need to hammer out a good hook. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

• • Your hook is better and more interesting. SL93 (talk) 13:24, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

• ALT1 good to go! (The original quote is a gem, but paraphrasing it is fine too). Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:49, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
