Life with My Sister Madonna

  • Reviewed: Leonard Owen
  • Comment: If possible, it would be ideal for this to appear on main page on August 16, 2018 as that is Madonna's 60th birthday.

Created by SNUGGUMS (talk), expanded by IndianBio (talk). Nominated by SNUGGUMS (talk) at 01:44, 28 July 2018 (UTC).


Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

Ok, no problem; you didn't record it here, so I figured that it hadn't been done, which confused and surprised me, 'cause I would've thought you knew better. ;) You're good to go, then. Symbol confirmed.svg Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 00:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Many thanks for that :) Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the hook fact in the article or the source. The article says "it wasn't just a catharsis", while the source says the therapy was what was cathartic and the book was a result. Yoninah (talk) 22:41, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Symbol confirmed.svg
  • Actually, a different source is given in the article than on this nomination. Even so, the Irish Independent source cited on this template says the book "wasn't just a catharsis". Please fix up the referencing in the article. Perhaps a new hook would be best. Yoninah (talk) 22:43, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Facepalm Facepalm Sorry about that, Template:U. How about (citing aforementioned Irish Independent link) "that Christopher Ciccone wrote Life with My Sister Madonna after reflecting on his strained relationship with Madonna (pictured)" instead? The text I derive this from is "Was it the moment he decided to write the book? 'It happened in stages,' he says. 'Our relationship was very strained back in 2003 and over a period of three or four years I got a chance to look back on it. I had some therapy and some soul searching. I had been attached to her life for so long and it was hard to see myself as a separate person.'" Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:52, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes Template:Ping I like that hook better than the original one as it is more interesting, and maybe a little bit "bitter", a theme widely discussed in the article itself as to why Ciccone wrote the book. —IB [ Poke ] 05:32, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you, but I really think you could do better. First, we have no Wikipedia page about Christopher Ciccone, so maybe we can refer to him as "Madonna's younger brother". Second, you have plenty of interesting facts that don't violate BLP in the article. You might pipe the link as follows: "that a tell-all book by Madonna's younger brother ..." I'd prefer to use the image for "Rescue Me", however. Yoninah (talk) 06:38, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Not sure what other options intriguing bits stand out to you from the article, but if the image isn't used here, then perhaps "that Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone wrote a tell-all book on her after reflecting on their strained relationship" or something along those lines. Template:U, what are your thoughts? I can't come up with anything better right now. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:40, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
I think this is a fine way of including the bit about Christopher Ciccone being Madge's brother, Template:U. Like I said before, it does make it interesting that her brother wrote a tell-all book. The only other pretty interesting hook would be Ciccone calling it better than orgasm, which I'm not sure we wanna include? —IB [ Poke ] 04:07, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Glad you like it, and the orgasm bit would be just plain weird. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:46, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
And ew, really icky. ;) Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:12, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Template:U, unless you or Template:U have any better ideas (in which case you should mention them), I hope my most recent hook can get approved ASAP. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:40, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that the publisher of Life with My Sister Madonna, a tell-all book by the singer's younger brother, sold it to retailers without revealing the title or the subject matter in order to create a media stir? Yoninah (talk) 20:11, 11 August 2018 (UTC) Symbol confirmed.svg
I like the first hook better, but I'm fine with either one. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 20:39, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping we are not able to use someone's name who doesn't have a Wikipedia page. Yoninah (talk) 20:54, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
  • ALT2: ... that Madonna's younger brother wrote a tell-all book about their deteriorating relationship and published it against her objections? Yoninah (talk) 20:56, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Duh sorry, did not know that. Your hook is good, so this should be good to go, right? Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:11, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Well, I'm waiting for the page creators Template:U and Template:U to weigh in, and if you choose one of the hooks I wrote, someone else will have to approve it. A slot has been reserved for it in Prep 4. Yoninah (talk) 21:37, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Of the alts that Yoninah gave, I personally prefer the one on a media stir as that seems more likely to intrigue the average reader. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:46, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
