Hallelujah! The Welcome Table
[edit]- ... that Hallelujah! The Welcome Table (2004) is acclaimed author Maya Angelou's first cookbook?
- Reviewed: Stephen Rubin
5x expanded by Figureskatingfan (talk). Self nominated at 19:59, 3 January 2014 (UTC).
Expanded into more than five times the size of a stub. Details sourced. Sources reliable. Hook interesting; though uncited, the author never published a cookbook before, so there is no need to add a source to verify the hook. In fact, it is already verified by the fact itself. The hook is not challenging, and WP:PROVEIT is not violated. According to Template:Maya Angelou Literary Works and Maya Angelou article, she wrote two cookbooks, including the very first one.

Whatever rules elsewhere in Wikipedia may be, DYK is quite clear: hook facts must be inline cited, and "first cookbook" is no exception. It should be easy enough to find a reliable source for this one. As for the hook text, "acclaimed author" sounds like a peacock term, and should be removed.

I fixed the issue by citing the hook as you wanted. As for the "acclaimed author" thing, a promoter can remove it himself at the prep area once promoted. Approved ALT1. George Ho (talk) 07:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- Here's another hook, taking out the "acclaimed" part:
