I see what you mean
edit@Michael D. Turnbull, would it be better with the capital letters? "Sculpture & Expanded Practice and Critical Cultures graduate" Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:32, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think simpler might be better. Citation #17 mentions her sculpture, so the sentence could be "As a graduate of fine art of NCAD in 2019, specialising in sculpture, she displayed her work ...." Mike Turnbull (talk) 21:49, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Good enough. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:12, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Michael D. Turnbull Technically I don't think I've seen a source saying born in Finglas, but it may not matter that much. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:59, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, that's the sort of thing where an WP:ABOUTSELF source would help. I note you removed the birthname from the infobox. I hadn't realised that the Adamczyk part might be her husband's name! This BLP stuff is hard.... Mike Turnbull (talk) 16:08, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Good find on the additions. Not often we get chance to cite Irish Marxist Review. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, she had of her poems published in that magazine. Mike Turnbull (talk) 16:18, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, I've actually cited that website! Lenin-quote at America_(Cattelan)#Other_gold_toilets. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:24, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. The proposed "hook" is not stated in the body and is not supported by either of the proposed references. Where does "arrested for lèse-majesté" ("defamation against the dignity of a ruling head of state"?) come from? The linked Evening Herald article says "arrested for breach of the peace and failure to comply with gardai". Not the offence we are listing here. And the linked Irish Independent (entertainment section) article also says "charged with threatening and abusive behaviour and failing to comply with gardai". Per WP:DYKRULES and WP:DYKHFC, the facts of the hook need to appear in the article (they don't), and the facts of the hook need to be supported by reliable references (they aren't). As it stands, the proposed hook text fails verification and doesn't meet DYK criteria. (Update: I can find no evidence that anyone [including the subject] has ever been arrested in Ireland for "lèse-majesté". There is nothing to indicate that any such offence or law is "on the books" in Ireland.) Guliolopez (talk) 11:46, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Correct, Ireland does not have "lèse-majesté" laws afaik. Being a republic and all that. It is intended to be humorous/non-literal, alluding to "arrested following protests during the Queen's visit in 2012." That is in the article. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:43, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. While I understand the humour aspect. And I know myself to be more of a pedant than most. But I'd suggest that "not true" is more accurate than "not literal". Per the guideline, hooks should (indeed) be interesting. But "interesting" shouldn't be prioritised to the extent that "accurate" is ignored. As you note, I don't think the proposed hook "works". Because it's not true or accurate. (We haven't exaggerated the facts - so much as we've changed them.) To the extent that, personally, I don't think that hook should be promoted to the homepage. (propose "... arrested
for lèse-majesté with a bodhránat a protest against Elizabeth II's 2011 state visit to Ireland" as alternative hook.) Guliolopez (talk) 14:31, 31 August 2024 (UTC)- Fair enough, alt will come. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:56, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. While the proposed alt1 is better than the originally proposed hook, it is not ideal (as "followed" implies a sense of wile that isn't in the source - which gives "attended with"). If it were me, I think a hook which focused on the subject's experience with homelessness (and attempts to challenge perceptions of homelessness and destigmatise the issue) would make for a more interesting hook. And is a much more topical issue. In Ireland at least. IMO anyway. Guliolopez (talk) 20:14, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
