Hey, Kavyansh.Singh! I can't get to the Telegraph, and the NYP isn't really a great source. You're satisfied this hook is supported by the Telegraph article? valereee (talk) 18:41, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Valereee, great to see you back! The Telegraph is used to cite the publicity stunt part. It says: "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, taken in New York on 20 September 1932, celebrates its 80th anniversary - but archivists say it was a publicity stunt." [3]. As for NYP, yeah, it isn't a great source but it is used only as a primary source in the article, and here for the quotation. It says: "It’s probably the most famous picture of a lunch break in New York history – and it seems hundreds of people know someone who was there." So it is more or less combination of those two sources. Does that work? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 18:50, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, good to be working again. I'll AGF that the source supports the hook, especially since it's a GA and you're an experienced DYK regular. Should the article be moved to Lunch atop a Skyscraper? I feel like headline case wouldn't capitalize 'atop'? To me it's like 'Lunch On a Skyscraper' to cap 'atop'. valereee (talk) 21:20, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. As for the article title, it was initially 'atop' when I started working, but I moved it to 'Atop' as it is a part of the title, and most of the WP:RS I say capitalizes that. Example: The New York Times, Time, The Telegraph, etc. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:23, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Valereee: If we're using title case, then the current title is indeed correct: Lunch Atop a Skyscraper. "Atop" is not lowercased, at least by several style guides, which do not lowercase prepositions that are four or more letters long; "a" is lowercase, though. If the title were Lunch on a Skyscraper, then yes, "on" would be lowercased. Just my two cents. Epicgenius (talk) 13:23, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Epicgenius, oh, very interesting! I did not know that four-or-more-letters thing! So many things to learn, thanks! valereee (talk) 18:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
