Peanuts (film)[edit]

(
)
  • Reviewed: Not a self-nomination. I know that this is 2 days late. However, I hope WP:IAR can be applied, given that the Peanuts is universally notable and considered one of the greatest comic strips ever.

  • This would make a great hook, but the Release section of the article indicates that the release date has changed, which means the date would no longer coincide with the two anniversaries, correct? 97198 (talk) 10:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
  • No. The anniversary refers solely to the year, as the comic strip was launched on October 2, 1950, while the Christmas special was first aired on December 9, 1965. Neither the original nor the current scheduled release dates (both in November 2015) would've fallen on the exact date of either. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:28, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
  • You can say it is just anniversary year which coincides, not exact dates. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 03:20, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Gotcha - the way the source was worded made it sound like that was the exact date, but I should've checked myself. The article is long enough, well referenced, and appears to be free of any copvio. Hook fact is cited. It looks like the nomination was made only a day outside of the 5-day window which I personally don't think is a big deal, so unless any seasoned DYKers have an issue with the date this should be good to go. 97198 (talk) 06:26, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Can we make it an eensy bit clearer that it's just the year, or am I being too nitpicky? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 16:47, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
  • The "will be" in the hooks looks like a WP:CRYSTAL violation: many things can happen that would result in a release on some other date, or it never being released at all. Something like "is set to be released" or "is scheduled for release" would work. To address Panyd's concern, "is set to be released 65 years after the debut of the comic strip and nearly half a century after the television special A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired" might address both problems. (Note: the article also needs to replace "will be" with an appropriate non-crystal-ball wording.) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:39, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Fixed both the hooks and the article. Could you please restore the tick? —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:22, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I can't restore the tick because I'm striking both proposed hooks: the original's "will coincide with" simply isn't accurate, nor is ALT1's "on the 50th anniversary", both of which imply an exact day. I've adjusted the article to use the "commemorates" quote from the source—it was a borderline close paraphrase before, and a direct quote is safer and more accurate. Since a commemoration doesn't need to be on the exact anniversary day, I think that same quote works here (and is again safer):
Reviewer needed to confirm ALT2 (I can't approve my own proposal). BlueMoonset (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
  • ATL2 is mentioned in the article and sourced online. Good 2 go with ALT2. — Maile (talk) 22:18, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
