Robyn Bolam
[edit]- ... that the English poet Robyn Bolam was part of the Hawthornden Fellowship, an international retreat for writers in Hawthornden Castle? Source: Royal Literary Fund [1]

This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues although I could not do a proper check as Earwig's tool was down. No QPQ needed here. @Kiromei:, the hook is inaccurate and you seem to have misunderstood the nature of the Hawthornden Castle fellowship. I have rewritten that bit in the article. Please suggest a better hook? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:36, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Cwmhiraeth, we came up with the following hooks:
- "...that English poet Robyn Bolam published her first poem at 15, in an anthology titled Next Wave Poets 1?"RobynBolam.com
- "...that English poet Robyn Bolam was encouraged by poet Peter Porter to apply for an Eric Gregory Award, which she won in 1981?"RobynBolam.com
- What do you think of these? Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:13, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
I am approving these two hooks which both have inline citations. However, both are cited to a "primary source", that is information provided by the subject them self. Wikipedia prefers "secondary sources", so I have added one of these for the second hook. This nomination is now ready to proceed, but it may take a little while before the hook is promoted to a hook set, ready for appearing on the main page. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:57, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks Cwmhiraeth! We were a bit unsure as to whether or not a primary source would be OK for DYK, so it's good to get feedback on that! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:52, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Shalor (Wiki Ed) and Cwmhiraeth: From experience, primary sources can be used to cite DYK hooks, as long as the material and/or fact is uncontroversial or neutral. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:14, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
