Created by Beatleswhobeachboys (talk). Self-nominated at 03:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/London's Brilliant Parade; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 09:28, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Beatleswhobeachboys: I am unable to independently confirm the hook online. Because the reference is offline. Can you share the sentence from the offline source? Bruxton (talk) 16:08, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- OK it turns out I cited the wrong article by mistake. I have fixed it in the article and the DYK proposal. The quote in the article reads: "Costello has an almost touching faith in his audience to understand what he's on about in his music. With Brutal Youth, he figures his listeners will pick upon the fact that 'London's Brilliant Parade" is a tribute to and send-up of the Kinks, on which he plays dobro as Ray Davies did on "Lola.""
