 * User:BlueMoonset, can you see if someone can have a look at this? Someone who owes you a favor? Thanks! Dr Aaij (talk) 15:56, 29 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:00, 1 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg This nomination meets the DYK criteria of newness and length. The article is sufficiently neutral and I detected no copyright issues or close paraphrasing. The hook is interesting and probably true, but there is no cited sentence in the article stating that SOBEWFF is one of the biggest food and wine festivals in the world. If you can find a source to back up the claim, please add the fact and cite it in the article. If you can't find a (reliable, independent) source, then perhaps you could suggest a new hook.

 * Thank you for the review. I just modified the the hook and found a new source to back up the claim.
 * Neither of the quotes given above states that it is one of the biggest food and wine festivals in the US, and nor does the article make this claim. The hook must have backing from the article and source, so please suggest a better hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:46, 5 November 2018 (UTC)


 * ALT1: ...that one of Lee Brian Schrager's books "celebrates" more than 50 recipes for fried chicken? Miami New Times
 * Cwmhiraeth, what do you make of this one? Doesn't it make you hungry? Dr Aaij (talk) 17:04, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I think ALT1 should do, although there might be some resistance from other quarters. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:14, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Returned from prep per discussion at WT:DYK. Besides the hook fact not appearing in the article, ALT1 smacks of self-promotion. Please note that I added a few "citation needed" tags for info that must be cited. Yoninah (talk) 18:46, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Here's another hook suggestion from that discussion:
 * ALT2: ... that Lee Brian Schrager, known for his work with the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, opened a gay bar called Torpedo in 1987? nytimes. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 18:44, 12 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I've modified ALT2 to avoid the "founder"/"founded" duplication. However, the article has been tagged as needing a copyedit, which it does, and cannot be passed until the prose is improved. Fabdoull, Dr Aaij, if you can't take care of it yourselves, you can make a request at the Guild of Copy Editors, though it will take a few weeks at least for them to get to it.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg - Length, Date, Cite, Earwigs, and QPQ check. There appears to have been a copyedit and I also went through and cleaned up the article.  I also reworked ALT2 slightly based on the sources and it is approved.  Best, Mifter (talk) 22:29, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
