Graham Chapman
- ... that Graham Chapman gave up a career as a doctor to pursue one in comedy?
Improved to Good Article status by Ritchie333 (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 21:01, 14 June 2015 (UTC).
- Right, right, stop that, stop that ... this started off as a perfectly good DYK nomination, but it's not silly enough. So, how about....
- ALT1
... that, celebrating Graham ChapmanTemplate:`s life, John Cleese became the first person at a British memorial service to say "fuck"? - ALT2 ... that Graham Chapman was a member of the Dangerous Sports Club and wanted to perform a bungee jump with them?
- ALT3 ... that Graham Chapman was one of the first celebrities to come out of the closet in Britain and financially supported Gay News? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:46, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1
- I'm sorry, but I don't care if the source is the Queen of England -- ALT1 defies common sense. There are lots of great potential hooks here, so let's all contribute our favorites, then vote.
- ALT4 ... that Terry Jones called Graham ChapmanTemplate:`s death, just before the 20th anniversary of the television debut of Monty Python's Flying Circus, "the worst case of party-pooping in all history"?
- (Not necessarily my favorite, but a start after a quick look over the article. Great work, Ritchie! Also, I think an image would be a good idea. ) EEng (talk) 06:04, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hey, isn't this still Wiki LGBTXYZ month? If so we should really try to use the gay angle in the hook. EEng (talk) 23:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC) Not that there's anything wrong with that.
- ALT5 ... that Graham Chapman did not mind when he was filmed fully nude in front of a crowd, but the female Muslim extras did? EEng (talk) 05:52, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- ALT6 ... that
- ALT7 ... that
- ALT8 ... that
- ALT9 ... that
