  • Hi! Nice to meet you, article seems to be in pretty good conditions, even pictured and with templates and tables. I would ONLY recommend a citation in the entry, I mean, in the first paragraph. Hope you take it positively. Kind regards. --LLcentury (talk) 11:16, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, thanks for your review. Per MOS:CITELEAD, all of the material in the lede is cited in the body copy of the article, and there are no controversial statements in the lede likely to be challenged, so it should be okay to go. I'll let whoever promotes the article choose the hook, but I think ALT1 is hook-ier. Morgan695 (talk) 17:36, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Perfectly then, go ahead!, I wasn't aware of that rule. The article is awesome and perfect then! LLcentury (talk)
  • Hey, Morgan695 and LLcentury, came to promote but I'm having a hard time finding it explicitly called a 'parody of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue' in the CBR source provided here (though I agree that's clearly that's what this is, and the cover shown in that article also makes it clear, but that's sort of OR-y.) I'm not sure it's actually a problem, but I was wondering with so many sources, is there one that explicitly calls this a parody of SISI? I like ALT0 a lot, just want to make sure we've got our ducks in a row if we can possibly improve the source we're pointing to for the hook. --valereee (talk) 12:21, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, Valereee, I found Women Write About Comics calling it "modeled" off of Sports Illustrated, and Comics Alliance calling it an "alternative" to Sports Illustrated. Also, the original subtitle for the series was "A Sophisticated Parody for Everyone Who Loves Marvel Comics", though it doesn't explicitly reference Sports Illustrated (for obvious reasons). If you want to go with ALT0, perhaps we could substitute "...an alternative to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue..."? Morgan695 (talk) 15:26, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
Morgan695, I think if you add those two sources to the article's hook sentence, we're probably good, as they're both linking it directly to SI. The fact none of the three say "parody" directly probably is less crucial, especially with 'subversive' in the first source and 'parody' on the cover. Thank you, and sorry for the extra work! --valereee (talk) 15:36, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
