I Married My Best Friend To Shut My Parents Up

... that Kodama Naoko, creator of I Married My Best Friend To Shut My Parents Up, called the series "the first work by 'Light Kodama' in a long time" when comparing it to the darker tone of her previous works?

Reviewed: Coelopa pilipes
Comment: A hair over 200 characters, but it's tough when the article title itself is just under 50 characters long.

Date, size, refs, hook, neutrality, copyvio spotcheck, GTG. Would be nice if it was longer, but for DYK rules it is sufficient. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:38, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

The hook is really too wordy. You have a great page name there. Why not:

@Yoninah: That's fine with me. Does the ALT1 need to be reviewed by the original reviewer, or is it good to go? Morgan695 (talk) 01:57, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

I'd like to ping BlueMoonset for her opinion here. We've done hooks like this before, but not many. Yoninah (talk) 13:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Yoninah, I'm always leery of that type of hook, to be honest, but more frequent set builders like Cwmhiraeth might have a better feel for what's flying these days. (I'm also not entirely sure it doesn't fall afoul of the real-world vs. fiction issue.) I did a little experimentation with the original hook, and came up with this at 191 characters (as opposed to 205):

Thanks for the explanation. But this long hook is really unwieldy and hard to follow (what is "Light Kodama"? The article doesn't explain this). I would suggest:
ALT2: ... that Kodama Naoko, creator of I Married My Best Friend To Shut My Parents Up, called the series her first "light" work "in a long time"? Yoninah (talk) 17:36, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

ALT2 works for me. Morgan695 (talk) 21:15, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Restoring tick for ALT2 per Piotrus' review. Yoninah (talk) 22:59, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Note: added quotes to ALT2 around "in a long time", since it's part of a quote from Kodama. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:08, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
