  • Comment: We may want to run this in conjunction with the August 9 opening.

5x expanded by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self nominated at 06:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC).

  • Good to go. Article is long enough and meets the 5X requirement. Hook verified. Picture copyright free. QPQ done. All DYK requirements good. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:40, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Can someone comment on my date request for August 9th or 10th (UTC).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 06:36, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Sure. Since you've asked, I think we need to be very careful about timing articles to coincide with commercial releases of movies, recordings, books, etc.: it feels too much like advertising for my taste. I'd let this one run whenever it gets picked, and would be disinclined to make it a special occasion request. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
  • I don't understand the problem. Nothing makes wikipedia look more current than having current pop culture on the main page at a time when it is relevant. Unless there is a DYK rule against this type of main page date request, it should be allowed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 04:37, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
  • If you want Blue to point to a DYK "rule", try F10. As for whether or not this is considered advertising, I'd be tempted to run several days after the premiere or before then, otherwise it would be too easy to level claims of advertising at DYK. However, since historically even TFAs have been scheduled to run at the same time a popular culture topic is in the news (think Transformers) I wouldn't mind running this. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:20, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
  • I would think that advertising would be a hook like ...that In a World... opens in theatres today? for an article with an opening sentence In a World... is a 2013 comedy film that opens today. An encyclopedic fact about a current event is not advertising.---TonyTheTiger (T/C/WP:FOUR/WP:CHICAGO/WP:WAWARD) 06:15, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Obviously I was being too opaque. Let's try again. I would personally prefer this not be run too close to the date, but consensus seems to be that having something on the main page when it is in the news (even when it is about a popular culture topic) is not advertising in and of itself. As a result, I (rather reluctantly) see little policy based reason for denying the date request, and thus it should be allowed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:20, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Picture may be copyright free, but it fails to meet a crucial DYK requirement, that it appear in the nominated article. Either the image needs to be removed from this nomination, or added to the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:48, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
