New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact is interesting and checks out, and it and the source are in the page. No textual issues. Looks good to me. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:01, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie: First off, excellent work to Cunard! This is a great article. However, I'm concerned about the neutrality/hookiness of the hook. Normally, I'd just let this slide, because most DYK articles are 2000–2500 characters and contain one or two hooky facts, but this article is huge and contains many interesting facts. I think that "the Marsh Family did a song and it went viral" isn't living up to what the hook could be, and seems just a tad promotional. Again, normally i wouldn't care, but i don't think it should be a tad promotional if it doesn't have to be. Here are some ALTs for your consideration:

ALT1 ... that the Marsh Family wrote a parody of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" to encourage people to take the COVID-19 vaccine?

ALT1a ... that the Marsh Family wrote a parody of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" to encourage people to take the COVID-19 vaccine, entitled "Have The New Jab"?

ALT2: ... that the Marsh Family's parody of Les Misérables's "One Day More" about their experiences during COVID-19 lockdown required pizza?

ALT2a: ... that the Marsh Family's parody of Les Misérables's "One Day More" about their experiences during COVID-19 lockdown required the children to be enticed with pizza?

ALT3: ... that the Marsh Family composed a song to commemorate the children's grandfather's successful prostatectomy?

I'm sorry to step over this way—let me know if any of these stand out as interesting. I'm open to workshopping any of them. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:59, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

theleekycauldron (talk · contribs), thank you for reviewing the article and providing several interesting alternative hooks! They are much better than the original hook I came up with, and I am fine with using any of the alternative hooks you have suggested. Cunard (talk) 08:24, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

thank ya thank ya! @Sammi Brie? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:32, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They all look good to me. Revised ALT3 for grammar; it's a touch awkward with two consecutive possessives, but what can you do? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:54, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is tess marsh a girl or boy

Because in this page. There are only 3 kids are cited except tess. The genders are 2 boys and 1 girl. But tess is mysterious because their name seems to be unisex. Probably is short for either terence or anthony both boy name. The family photos shows 2 of 4 children wear cold jacket the color are blue and yellow. Anyone can help this statement to verify tess marsh gender. 2404:8000:1027:85F6:C410:9068:108A:42C4 (talk) 18:03, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Dates for University

The dates for both parents are wrong. Cambridge uses dates when students matriculate (arrive) rather than when they graduate. They were around 19 in 1995. Jonknight73 (talk) 01:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
