- ... that Valerie Broussard's video for "Iris" pays homage to the Goo Goo Dolls' original? Source: "“The Goo Goo Dolls music video for ‘Iris’ is the first I ever truly fell in love with,” Valerie shared. “When making my own video, I wanted to give an homage to theirs." ([1])

OK so it's long enough, new enough, no plagiarism, etc. But, Ritchie333, the hook isn't verified in the article--that is, the "homage" part needs to be added in the text. And when that happens, that whole sentence can be rephrased cause it's a little ambiguous: "One of her early influences was Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris", particularly its music video, which she later covered." Sounds like she covered to video. Anyway, I'm sure one judicious edit can take care of that--and thanks for working with the editor. Drmies (talk) 17:53, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

- Ritchie333, can you make it say "homage" or "tribute"? Drmies (talk) 18:10, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- I've changed the hook from "tribute" to "homage" as that's exactly what the source says, and the article has that verbatim quotation in it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:13, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
