This is a well-written interesting article, meticulously sources, and I think It's good for DYK. The original hook is a bit boring to readers who don't already know the writer, also it's not clearly stated that way in the article, or did I miss something? The ALT would be better if it also said that he wrote a book about that grandfather. E.M.Gregory, are you willing to work on hooks and article? Or anybody else? - In the article, I think the court incident has too much weight in both lead and article. More lead about other things, please, or less about the incident. His articles: they are formatted with template citation, which expects them to be used as references. Please find a way to avoid the ugly error messages that they are not used. Please never use "Selected" without giving the criteria. I just removed it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)- Second thought, catchy title:

... that Mark Judge wrote the book A Tremor of Bliss: Sex, Catholicism, and Rock 'n' Roll, published in 2010?--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:49, 16 October 2018 (UTC)- ALT3: ...that Mark Judge wrote a book about how dancing helped him stop drinking? E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:51, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Invited to look again, E.M.Gregory, thank you improvements. Still too concerns: too little in the lead about his work, and still ugly errror messages such as "Harv warning: There is no link pointing to this citation. The anchor is named CITEREFJudge1995" which I think would go away if you used "cite book" instead of "citation". I like ALT3, but of course like ALT2 better, which would ned someone else to approve. If nobody does that, I'll eventually approve ALT3. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:40, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- I've struck ALT2, which is of the "did you know that A did B" form, and hence not as interesting; ALT3 is far more interesting in my view. E.M.Gregory, thanks for your earlier improvements; it looks like there is still more work to do in expanding the article's introduction, though I wonder if it's strictly necessary for the purposes of a DYK nomination. Gerda Arendt, I'm not seeing any error messages when I look at the article, either normally or in preview, and I don't see any use of the harv template at all. Is there some tool I should be using to see the error messages you're noting? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:48, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
- The tool is: add "importScript('User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js')" to your common.js. I'll look later if I can fix the errors I see myself, but have a few more urgent topics. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:20, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
ALT3 then. I replaced "citation" by "cite book", but there may be something more appropriate, "cite journal" perhaps? - The lead is not yet balanced, but that's no DYK requirement, afaik. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
