 * The article was in an edit war, but it has recently been solved. :) SL93 (talk) 21:38, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * NOTE: The "edit" link to this page doesn't work. Instead of coming to this page, it goes to the article. --Orlady (talk) 18:46, 22 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article meets the "long enough" criterion, but I find it to be very sparse. Too much of the text consists of direct quotations from sources -- and after I looked at several sources I realized that the article did not do a very good job of conveying what they said. Regarding the hook fact, when I looked at the article I wanted to know when the lawsuit was filed ("one week before the U.S. release" doesn't say what year it was) and how the suit was concluded. With minimal online research, I learned that the man who sued was Debbie Nelson's agent, that the lawsuit was dropped in some fashion, and that it was later reported that Debbie Nelson was going to marry the man who sued her. I'd like to see more solid substance in the article before it is featured in DYK. --Orlady (talk) 18:46, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That won't happen from me. I have editors monitoring the article rudely after an edit war. The edit war is resolved, but people appear to still have their eyes on it. SL93 (talk) 18:53, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
