  • Article has a few [citation needed]s that need to be removed or sourced. The fact seems a tad obvious, might suggest the alternative,(ALT1) "... that the music video for Psy's (pictured) song "Gentleman" re-uses dance choreography from a Brown Eyed Girls video?"

  • Some of the things I have tagged have gotten cited and others remain tagged. This article is growing rapidly. I'll give things a week or so before weeding out unsourced stuff.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:19, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Okay. Now, I wonder, do you think my other hook is a better idea? I associate DYK with more "interesting" facts about the article. Its kinda obvious that its a successor to Gangnam Style, but I think mentioning the dance thing is a bit more interesting. ViperSnake151  Talk  16:26, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
  • It is probably more informative about the DYK subject, but less likely to get more page views. I could go either way.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:39, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
    • FWIW, the original hook is great. Enormous interest would be aroused simply by mentioning "Gangnam Style". You guys are over-thinking this. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:09, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
(ALT2)... that "Gentleman", which is PSY's (pictured) follow up to the 1.5 billion YouTube page viewed "Gangnam Style", has set a Guinness World Record with over 38 million single-day page views?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:32, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
(ALT3)... that the music video for "Gentleman", the latest single by PSY's (pictured) and featuring Justin Bieber, has set a Guinness World Record with over 38 million single-day page views?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:32, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Approving ALT3. Mentioning Bieber on the front page should do the trick! —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 20:24, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
