Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014

 * ... that protests against the Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 included a mass facesitting demonstration in Parliament Square?
 * Reviewed: Did you know nominations/Hans Krueger
 * Comment: Okay, I'm aware that we're typically squeamish about sex-related topics on the main page, but I honestly can't think of any reason not to add this; the key topic when discussing the regulations is censorship, not pornography in itself, and the article passes all of the normal criteria.

Created by Sceptre (talk). Self nominated at 04:42, 17 December 2014 (UTC).


 * Secondary comment: there's also the related article Charlotte Rose, which is about twenty days old and could provide the basis for a double hook; I've asked that article's creator,, if he'd like to contribute to the discussion. Sceptre (talk) 09:36, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply to above: Possible suggestion combining both articles - ALT1 ... that in protest to the Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 sex worker Charlotte Rose organised a mass facesitting demonstration in Parliament Square?  ISD (talk) 16:07, 17 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Perhaps we should go with a hook that's less in-your-face:
 * ALT2... that a Parliament Square protest against a ban on depiction of certain sexual practices in streaming videos featured slogans such as "Urine for a shock if you expect us to stop"?

(It's in the Telegraph article.) EEng (talk) 22:39, 17 December 2014 (UTC) : I feel there's an opportunity here re urine and streaming, but the words just aren't flowing. Can you help out? (Nothing too ham-handed, please, and no yellow journalism etc.)
 * ALT2a: ... that sex worker Charlotte Rose organised a protest in Parliament Square against a ban on depiction of certain sexual practices in streaming videos, which included slogans such as "Urine for a shock if you expect us to stop"?
 * That said, the facesitting part was the most notable part of the protest. Sceptre (talk) 20:47, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Fine with me. EEng (talk) 05:16, 20 December 2014 (UTC) (Very disappointed hasn't chimed in with something utterly filthy. EEng (talk) 16:57, 20 December 2014 (UTC))
 * I couldn't possibly lower myself. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:23, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Nonetheless you have. EEng (talk) 15:08, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I refuse to reply. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:55, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. Unfortunately, as Charlotte Rose was created on November 28, nineteen days before this nomination was made, it is not eligible for DYK, given the seven-day requirement. The article can be given a regular link in the hooks involving her, but not a bold link (and I've removed the bolding from those suggested hooks). Sceptre, if you'd prefer not to use the hooks with her name, please let us know. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The hooks are fine with Rose's name unbolded. Sceptre (talk) 16:34, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Sceptre. I've had to strike ALT2a, however, as it's well over the 200-character maximum. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:43, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Full review, reporting in. New (17th), long enough, just neutral enough but was there really no negative response to the protests at all?, no copyvio found via close paraphrasing spot check besides "be in breach of the obscene" (which should be fixed), QPQ done but is not a full review and should be expanded (also the final response in the DYK should have a checkmark image so the closers know it's ready). ce'd hook, which checks out. Struck the Rose AL1 as too bulky atop the main. Struck ALT2 as the "urine ..." quote isn't in the article. "See also" section belongs above "Notes" per the layout guidelines. A few fixes and we're good to go. Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ⨹   04:32, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Unstriking ALT2 as it's now in the article. EEng (talk) 07:30, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Pinging Czar per request. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg ALT2 confirmed in the source so it's good, but I was waiting on the nom for the other points/questions czar  ⨹   17:52, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think there was any negative press regarding the protests; the law itself was passed through without ceremony as SIs normally do, and SIs only really get noticed if they're objectionable. I've edited the close paraphrasing and fixed the layout problem; I hope we're good to go now. Sceptre (talk) 20:36, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
