  • Symbol confirmed.svg John Oliver strikes again! I haven't seen the episode yet, only read about it, so I can only hope it exceeds Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption.
  • To the review. Both articles are new and significantly large in prose. Both created March 19, one with about 3500 characters of prose and the other closer to 4000. Articles are well sourced, especially regarding the Oliver parody aspect in the hook. The plot sections are not, but plot sections do not require inline citations on Wikipedia. Articles are neutrally written. No copyright violation is apparent. QPQ is done. The image is public domain as a work of the U.S. Government, is of great quality at that size, and is used in both articles. The picture of the bunny is probably the best thing to come from the Trump presidency. Good to go with a hearty laugh. – Muboshgu (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Works for me. It's not about the credit. It's about getting Marlon the recognition he deserves. GMGtalk 17:49, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Oh, wait actually. Isn't linking pet rabbit (which redirects to Domestic rabbit) to Marlon Bundo a little big of an MOS:EGG problem? Is there some way to work that more clearly? GMGtalk 17:51, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • OK how about this?
  • In any case, I guess we can ask the other three contributors, plus this hook's reviewer (Muboshgu) to see if we can do the alternative hook I mentioned above. If that goes through, I'll add your credit for the Bundo article on this nomination, and remove it from the other one so there aren't two different hooks for the same article that run on the Main Page. epicgenius (talk) 17:53, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • I'm fine with it. GMGtalk 17:56, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg I can add a third QPQ credit from this nom then. Marlon Bundo is newly created and large enough at over 5kb of prose. The only feedback I have on that is I don't think the subheadings or {{main}} is necessary in the "Children's books" sections since they are two paragraphs total and not especially large ones at that. I agree with making sure we don't create an WP:EGG situation with a Main Page hook, and I think Epicgenius's hook is solid. No copyright or neutrality problems are apparent within the article. Template:Ping, we need a QPQ for the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:09, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • This is actually only the second article I've ever taken to DYK. Probably related to the fact that I screwed up the nomination originally in addition to not realizing I was nearly duplicating another nomination. Considering the last time I did this was more than a year ago, I'm not sure you really wan't me reviewing anything at the moment. GMGtalk 20:14, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • I just realized that I made a mistake in the Marlon Bundo review by listing GMG as having done a QPQ instead of "not necessary due to having only one credit". And I made another mistake by not telling Muboshgu that I already reviewed the Marlon Bundo nomination, so maybe I get a double serving of humble pie Face-wink.svg. On the bright side, the Marlon Bundo article is good to go (as I mentioned at Template:Did you know nominations/Marlon Bundo), and I added GMG's Marlon Bundo credit to this page. Since the Marlon Bundo Books articles are also good to go, I guess the only thing left is for the original nominators of the Marlon Bundo Books articles to weigh in. epicgenius (talk) 20:24, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Can I nominate the Charlotte Pence article as the fourth link? We can append something like "by his daughter" after mentioning her book. I expanded the article in the last 6 days and am exempt from QPQ. (Pinging IronGargoyle; Dalsegnoalfine; Adavidb; Muboshgu; and GreenMeansGo.) wumbolo ^^^ 20:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Is there a record for number of articles in one hook at the same time? GMGtalk 20:27, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Seventy, I guess? epicgenius (talk) 20:29, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
(OK, the 70 article hook didn't actually pass, but the same editor nominated a hook with 14 items that actually did make it onto DYK. epicgenius (talk) 20:29, 28 March 2018 (UTC))
Enjoy. wumbolo ^^^ 20:31, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Ah thanks for that. I could've sworn WP:DYKSTATS had it and I was disappointed that it didn't. My personal high for a hook is ten articles. Which I did twice. (And a fiver-hook too, I forgot about that one).
Template:Re Feel free to propose a hook with Charlotte Pence in it (and provide a QPQ) and I'll review her article too. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:35, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Template:Re I do feel free to do that, but I can't think of any interesting hooks. I honestly believe that it's interesting to add to this hook that the first book was written by Pence's daughter herself. It was illustrated by Pence's wife, however, I don't find that necessary. wumbolo ^^^ 20:41, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Template:OutdentALT3:

How does that sound? Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 20:39, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

I don't like using the word "but" as the sentences aren't contrasting each other. The only thing about this hook is that it literally says nowhere that we're talking about the VP and his family here. Additionally, I would like to have the usage of the word "another" checked thoroughly. wumbolo ^^^ 20:49, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
How about something like "Vice Presidential family"? wumbolo ^^^ 20:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Yeah. But
might be a little too long. I'm guessing there is a redundancy there. I can't pinpoint what it is, though. epicgenius (talk) 20:54, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
The problem is the insistence on mentioning Mike Pence. Why try to inherit notability? All four subjects are now notable in their own right. 2601:152:4280:15D0:1863:B8E8:55D5:B971 (talk) 20:57, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
