Mauka Mauka

 * ... that upon the release of the Indian advertising campaign Mauka Mauka (singer Alamgir Khan pictured), Pakistanis "ran afoul and used every possible media front to oppose [it]"? Source:
 * ALT1:... that upon the release of the Indian advertising campaign Mauka Mauka, Pakistanis "ran afoul and used every possible media front to oppose [it]"? Source:
 * ALT2: ... that the Indian advertising campaign Mauka Mauka was a huge hit in India, but caused significant opposition in Pakistan?
 * ALT3: ... that singer Alamgir Khan (pictured) was reluctant to sing the jingle for the Indian advertising campaign Mauka Mauka and had to be convinced by the producers?
 * ALT4: ...that Star Sports' Mauka Mauka advertising campaign for the 2015 Cricket World Cup match between India and Pakistan was a huge hit in India, but ignited significant opposition in Pakistan?
 * Reviewed: Ophiothrix angulata
 * Comment: Suggested two versions of the same hook: the original one bold links the singer article (which was created by another user recently) and also uses the image (uploaded by the same user); ALT1 does not mention the singer and does not include the image. If the singer's article (Alamgir Khan (singer)) and the image are suitable for DYK, we can go with the original hook. If not, I am fine with ALT1. Also is it possible to run it on 14/15 August when Pakistan/India celebrate their respective Independence Days?

 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Sourcing looks fairly good as well. No copyvio concerns, quotes are cited appropriately. I'm not sure about the hook. I had a look and I didn't see anything in the DYK rules or supplementary about hooks consisting mainly of a quote from a source, so I don't know how acceptable it is. I've never seen it before though so I don't think it's customary. I also think if we're going to use the singer's photo, he needs to be mentioned in the hook. I've proposed two alternate hooks (ALT2 & ALT3), one of which paraphrases the original without quoting, and the second of which mentions the singer. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 22:46, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I am fine with ALT2 and ALT3 in case the first two hooks are not acceptable. Dee  03  14:28, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * So is there any other issue with the nom, or is this good to go? Dee  03  16:09, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * No other issue that I can see although I'm re-thinking ALT2, I don't know that I made it punchy/informative enough. Check out ALT4? Its's a little stronger, I think. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 04:58, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT4 is indeed "hookier" and provides more context than ALT2. I have no objection to it. Dee  03  14:12, 14 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Then I think we're good to go! &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 20:00, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
