White Wonderland edit

... that the former co-organizer of an electronic music festival began holding its own competing event on the exact same night?

I have not reviewed the article, but I have concerns about the effectiveness of the proposed hook. It's too vague, and it focuses too much on the non-target article. I suggest the following revision:

ALT1 ... that the first White Wonderland music festival was held on the same night as a competing festival that its sponsor had previously co-organized? --Orlady (talk) 16:08, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm okay with it if it says "previously co-organized", and if "same night" is linked to New Year's Eve (because that's a key aspect of why this makes sense). ViperSnake151 Talk 16:17, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

I just added "previously" to my hook suggestion. Linking to New Year's Eve is not a good idea. The purpose of a DYK hook is to get the reader to look at the new article. Links to other articles should be limited. The reader won't learn anything in particular about the hook topic by reading an article about New Year's Eve. --Orlady (talk) 17:11, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Not quite new enough (six days old at the time of nomination) but I'll let that slide. No problems with the article, ALT1 interesting and verified, QPQ done. DoctorKubla (talk) 06:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
