Grumpy Cat
[edit]- ... that Grumpy Cat was called the biggest star of 2013 SXSW Interactive?
- ALT1:... that Grumpy Cat's signature facial expression is permanent and probably caused by feline dwarfism?

The prose size is under 1,500 bytes. You can find other different information about this topic without bloating it, even if you can expand it to minimum size. --George Ho (talk) 19:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- How close is it now? I added Grumpy_Cat#Background. CallawayRox (talk) 20:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps someone else will review it since the issue is resolved. --George Ho (talk) 02:43, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
What makes the following sources reliable? Azfamily.com, Mashable.com, TMZ.com, Twitter.com, and AllThingsD? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:42, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- Azfamily.com is KTVK's website. TMZ (website) is ok to use according to WP:RSN. Mashable and All Things Digital are notable social media and tech blogs. Ian Somerhalder's tweets are WP:SELFPUB with supporting sources. CallawayRox (talk) 17:45, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- Social media? Do they just cover internet fads, or ? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:21, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- I took out Mashable and AllThingsD. [1] I left one as a WP:SELFPUB about the Mashable House tent. CallawayRox (talk) 17:39, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Alright, sourcing looks fine. This needs a proper review. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
If everyone is OK with the sources then length is good, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns and the hook for ALT1 is sourced to an ABC story In real life, the cat never does shake her grumpy face and that’s because she has feline dwarfism, a condition -- Esemono (talk) 06:30, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
