Comment: The hook may well need to be tweaked as she is due to take over at the end of June

Created by Edwardx (talk), Philafrenzy (talk), Andysmith248 (talk), and Whispyhistory (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 22:51, 19 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Y Article is long enough (2573 characters), new enough (created 12 June, nominated 19 June- just in time!), and article is within policy
Y Hook is short enough, interesting and well cited. Assuming this runs after 1 July (which seems likely, as DYK queues/preps are filled past that date), the tense will need to be changed
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking for hooks to move to prep and I can't say I'm a fan of using "David Cameron's sister-in-law" instead of "Emily Sheffield". Would you consider a reword? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:07, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I think we need a completely new hook. Few are going to understand the point of the current one even though it is the obvious one in the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:06, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

suggestion, unless someone can think of a nice hook...

ALT1:... that prior to taking over from George Osborne as editor of London's Evening Standard, Emily Sheffield was not in Vogue?
ALT1a:... that Emily Sheffield is not in Vogue? Whispyhistory (talk) 11:09, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2:~~... that Emily Sheffield, the new editor of London's Evening Standard, was sacked from British Vogue as part of what was called a "posh girl exodus"?~~ Philafrenzy (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Review of alts needed. Yoninah (talk) 10:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not particularly keen on ALT2, as DYK hooks shouldn't focus unduly on negative parts of a BLP (which being sacked is). Fine with ALT1 or ALT1a, although should Vogue be wikilinked? (There seems to be no DYK-wide agreement on whether to wikilink or not) Joseph2302 (talk) 10:49, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How about ALT2a:... that Emily Sheffield, the new editor of London's Evening Standard, left British Vogue as part of what was called a "posh girl exodus"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philafrenzy (talk • contribs) 13:02, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
