Wardell (band) edit

(

)

... that Sasha and Theo Spielberg of the indie folk band Wardell (pictured) wrote the song that brought them national visibility quickly, "like, in an hour"?

Article new and long enough; hook interesting and hook fact confirmed from online source; no copyvio detected. Image is appropriately licensed. Sasata (talk) 17:35, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Pulling out of the prep area because nothing in the sources indicates that they have achieved fame yet. Need a different way to express what they have achieved. --Orlady (talk) 15:11, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Fame: "the state of being known by many people". Is this not true? Sasata (talk) 15:17, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I think the source has been misinterpreted. The quote "like, in an hour" refers to how long it took them to put together their first song – not how long it took to gain national exposure and get signed to a record label. DoctorKubla (talk) 15:50, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, all. Updated hook. I think the song and the ascent to fame (read: national renown) are used metonymically here, but the new phrasing is clearer. czar ♔ 18:48, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Czar's edits to the hook resolve my concerns about it. --Orlady (talk) 20:33, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
