... that the podcast Serial was number one on the iTunes Store even before it debuted?

Created by Grand'mere Eugene (talk). Nominated by Aboutmovies (talk) at 04:47, 15 October 2014 (UTC).

Reviewed: as an editor new to DYK, participated in review of Template:Did you know nominations/Brian Kim

- Article nominated 1 day after creation, reviewed 5 days after creation. Prose portion of article is significantly longer than 1500 characters, looks high-quality and well cited. Probably a C-class article, possibly B-class. The only concern I might have is the extensive use of quotations from various reviews, which brings up WP:QUOTEFARM concerns. I do not think this rises to the level of copyvio, however.

The hook is short, interesting and included in the article. Seems like an easy pass to me. 0x0077BE [^talk/_contrib] 17:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, 0x0077BE, I agree that there is was an overall impression of stringing together quoted material, especially in the Critical reception section. ~~I'll work on paraphrasing~~ I have paraphrased some of the quotes. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 19:14, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
