... that photographer Heji Shin created Big Cocks, a series of portraits of roosters that she admired for their "angry cock energy"? Source: "Two prints from the series, titled “Big Cocks,” recently appeared in a group show at Galerie Buchholz in Berlin. Roosters have long been associated with masculinity (though, in fact, they don’t have penises, Shin informs me); in an era in which violence tends to be systemic or “tactical,” she writes to me later, “the short-lived outbursts of angry cock energy look Hellenistic and virile.”" ([1])
ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Overall: First of all, Big Cocks: great. Lots of Wikipedians are gonna love to see Big Cocks, and want to hear more about Big Cocks. And everyone is gonna love "angry cock energy". I can't speak for everyone, but I know that when I see Big Cocks, I'm immediately interested. Earwig's tool gives a low score of 39.8%, and basically all of that is sourced quotations from the NYT article. I'm a little disappointed in there not being a picture of Big Cocks, although it might be difficult to come up with a freely licensed photo of Big Cocks. Another thing that seemed weird to me is that the whole article is under the "Early Life" section. Huh? I sure hope Big Cocks weren't part of her early life! It could do with a bit more breaking out into sections. There could also be some more cool stuff in the infobox (like what type of art she does, what she's best known for -- there's so much more to her, even though we might only be there for Big Cocks). But I love this article, I love this hook, I love Big Cocks, and I definitely look forward to seeing Big Cocks on the main page. jp×g03:12, 27 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Restoring tick. JPxG's review does not state any issues that would cause the nomination to violate any DYK rules. feminist (talk) wear a mask, you stupid bastards 15:06, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
