Marina and the Diamonds

 * ... that singer Marina and the Diamonds (pictured) took up smoking in an unsuccessful attempt to get the voice of Brody Dalle from The Distillers?


 * ALT1:... that Marina and the Diamonds (pictured) is not a band?
 * ALT2:... that Marina and the Diamonds (pictured) estimates that 60% of people in her audiences are gay?
 * Reviewed: Ivan Aivazovsky
 * Comment: Unsure whether first hook is too negative, as it documents a (rather odd) failure, but it's something she's joked about in interviews

Improved to Good Article status by The Almightey Drill (talk). Self-nominated at 23:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg I verified all three proposed hooks, and have a preference for the original hook (I don't feel that it is too negative). With 17641 characters the article is certainly long enough, and it achieved GA status on March 31. However, the Earwig tool is reporting 92% copyvio with this article. This article lists a date of Mar 9th 2016, and so is most likely simply regurgitating the content within the WP article, but I would like to hear from the article expander (or someone else) first. Care to comment? Thanks!  Ruby  2010/  2013  19:12, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That is definitely a mirror, they left in the [ 5 ] for the reference. For my QPQ I found a 98.5% "copyvio" that was a mirror &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 20:38, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Ah, I see that you're right! No problems then. I think this is good to go (with preference for the main hook or ALT2).  Ruby  2010/  2013  23:04, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
