Created by Gobonobo (talk). Self-nominated at 16:58, 28 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/My Tender Matador; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. The hook fact source checks out as well. @Gobonobo: No textual issues. I found a few things while cleaning up the page; they're not DYK stoppers but should probably be addressed. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:03, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- I do want to point out that the two paragraphs beginning with
During the long bus ride, the Queen
have awkward space to the right in my browser. You need to play with the image layout to handle your two-column text (which is kind of necessary for the story format). - Also caught that "sewist" is in there. That's not a word in English. Maybe "seamstress" or "tailor"?
- The reference "Atentado de Pinochet" appears to be very broken. Looking at the source code indicates it was a Flash app of some kind.
- @Sammi Brie: Hi. I've adjusted the image layout. I'm having trouble configuring the column templates to prevent the two columns from running together. The Atentado reference should be good now. I've changed up the phrasing, but "sewist" is a word, at least to some. Thank you, gobonobo + c 23:50, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

seems like this hook falls afoul of SG?in-universe – could another hook be found? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 17:30, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

- The assassination attempt on Pinochet was a real world event. If C6 is that strict and we can't IAR, then maybe something more explicit would satisfy?
- ALT1: ... that the historical romance novel My Tender Matador includes a fictionalized version of the attempted assassination of Augusto Pinochet?
- I'd be fine with this, theleekycauldron. I note that the author's dedication hints at this being a bit more than a work of fiction, too... Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:21, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
