... that Taylor Swift got in touch with Gary Lightbody, with whom she collaborated on the song "The Last Time", through Ed Sheeran? Source: ProQuest (accessible through the Wikipedia Library). "I was in the studio with Ed Sheeran, recording our duet," she said. "Ed said, 'Hey, my friend Gary's in town, is it okay if he stops by?' I said yes! I'm a huge fan! Snow Patrol is all I've been listening to!' "So Gary comes in -- he's so nice. He said, 'Well, I want to write for your record'."

Eligibility checks out, hook is fine, and sources look good (AGF on the ProQuest ones). Should be good to go once QPQ is done. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 10:49, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IceWelder, I think QPQ is only needed after 5 successful DYKs. My QPQ check says I'm only having three. Does it exempt me from the QPQ rule? P.s. You can access the source through the Wikipedia Library! Ippantekina (talk) 04:58, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed that should be after five noms. I don't know how the tool counts or how it gets to three, but according to my search, you already have five promoted DYKs plus another approved one that is pending:

Please let me know if I made a mistake. IceWelder [✉] 08:02, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@IceWelder: Whoops, I forgot my own DYK noms apparently. The QPQ tool in the toolbox shows only three... QPQ done! Ippantekina (talk) 10:22, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All good. Hook looks good to go. IceWelder [✉] 10:34, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
