Victor Edelstein
- ... that Victor Edelstein designed the blue velvet dress worn by Princess Diana when she danced with John Travolta?
- Reviewed: The Butcher Of Amritsar
- Comment: Possible merge with the DYK for the Travolta Dress?
Created by Mabalu (talk), Surtsicna (talk). Nominated by Mabalu (talk) at 16:29, 22 July 2013 (UTC).
- Suggested alt hook: ... that Victor Edelstein designed the blue velvet dress worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, when she danced with John Travolta?
- (Explanation from Surtsicna was "Princess Diana" is the name invented by the media' My take is that "Princess Diana" is a popular widely-known and recognised name and more catchy, I personally have no strong feelings either way, but suggesting an ALT hook is fairer to all rather than changing the nomination.)

- You are right, of course, I am not sure if we are allowed to correct hooks of other users. Suggesting an alternative one is a better option. Anyway, I think there were several discussion about "Princess Diana" at Talk:Diana, Princess of Wales. The consensus seems to be that factual accuracy should be not be ignored. For what it's worth, I believe the alternative hook is better because nobody can complain about inaccuracy at Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors. Surtsicna (talk) 17:06, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
I kindly ask reviewers to pay attention to this nomination by 28 July so that it can be featured as a double hook along with the hook about the Travolta dress. Thanks. Surtsicna (talk) 16:21, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- OK, that ship has sailed. I therefore propose an alternative hook, to avoid too many Diana-related hooks:
- ALT1: ... that Victor Edelstein quit designing luxurious dresses for British princesses in 1993 to become an artist whose painting is held by the National Portrait Gallery?
