Nice 2 Me
- ... that Piri's performance of "Nice 2 Me" at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend featured a burlesque routine?

Created by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 14:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Nice 2 Me; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The hook cannot be verified because the episode is no longer available, and I am also doubtful that the performance itself can be considered a reliable source for that claim. Finally, it seems to me that a more interesting hook can be produced from this article. Otherwise the nomination looks promising: the article was nominated the day it was created, it is otherwise well-sourced, and appears to be neutral. I could not detect any close paraphrasing. I would suggest a hook that goes something like ALT1: ... that after breaking up, Piri and Tommy Villiers stayed friends and released a song about wanting to be treated nice in a relationship?

- I had this at Feel It (MJ Cole song), and I think next time I use an offline source I'll have to leave a note at Wikipedia talk:Did you know asking that it be verified ahead of time.

Thanks for fixing that embarrassing mistake of mine. Someone else will have to review the new hook. There is still the issue of the burlesque bit being without a proper reference in the article. I am unable to find a source for it. Surtsicna (talk) 17:53, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- BBC sources are definitely archived as they are for sale, and cost is no object. ALT2 is probably more interesting.--Launchballer 18:54, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- If it is accessible at least to some, the source should be fine. Does it explicitly describe the routine as a burlesque? Surtsicna (talk) 19:42, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- From memory, I think she describes it as "chair dancing", and I was under the impression that they were the same thing - except our article on burlesque does not contain the word chair. (For reference, it was thirty seconds of this sort of thing - I deliberately didn't provide a timestamp as the track listing makes it obvious.) Looking at this now, I think ALT2 could be hookier. I therefore propose:
- ALT3: ... that after breaking up, Piri and Tommy Villiers released a song about wanting to be treated nicely in a relationship?--Launchballer 10:16, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
