- Comment: Hello! This is my first nomination (suggested by User:TSventon, thank you!) so I apologize if I did anything wrong. I read through the guidelines but wasn't completely sure how to format my source link (like if I'm supposed to be linking to the citation in the article or to the source that is cited in that citation). Anyway, let me know if there's any issues and thanks for your time! :)
Created by KRKwrites (talk). Self-nominated at 15:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Abigail Larson; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The hook isn't the most interesting. Maybe try the wine and beer thing? maybe wine beer and shoes? Or Beer shoes Evanescence and wine? Other than that the article was created in the past seven days . It hasn't been featured on the Main Page's In the news section and hasn't previously appeared as a "qualifying article" in an earlier DYK. It contains at least 1,500 characters of readable prose and is not a stub. The hook fact(s) is stated in the article, and is immediately followed by an inline citation to a reliable source (well the Ink & Arrows Magazine is fine the artist FAQ is not) The article in general uses inline cited sources. Sources are properly labelled in a references section and the references do not have bare URLs. The article contains no dispute templates. The article does not violate Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people. The article does not contain plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The article deals with the subject in a neutral manner. The hook is properly formatted and is shorter than about 200 characters. The hook does not have neutrality problems or undue emphasis on a negative aspect of a living individual. The hook does not contain a redlink There is no image.©Geni (talk) 17:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Geni Fair enough – it is just a pretty unusual way to do illustration these days, the people interviewing her always seem surprised when she explains it LOL. I thought it was super interesting which is why I used it as the hook. But I can put forward an alternate like "...that illustrator Abigail Larson once designed bottle labels for the Vincent Price Signature Wine Collection to benefit the Edgar Allan Poe Museum?" or something.

- That's viable although we could go with the original if you really want.©Geni (talk) 09:15, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'm happy with the alternate if you think it's better!! :) KRKwrites (talk) 17:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- you need to submit it in the form ** '''ALT1''': ...©Geni (talk) 19:49, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I'm sorry about that! I missed this notification. I added ALT1, should be okay now — let me know if not. Thank you for your help :) KRKwrites (talk) 20:15, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Either hook although the source for the second isn't the best as its the museum itself.©Geni (talk) 20:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
