... that a trans man shot a film about working with the Taliban? Source: https://variety.com/2023/film/reviews/transition-review-jordan-bryon-1235637963/

Moved to mainspace by Maddy from Celeste (talk). Self-nominated at 17:18, 20 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Transition (film); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Alt1: ... that in the documentary Transition, Jordan Bryon says he finds Taliban fighters "lovely"? (source) -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 21:07, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article is new enough, has enough readable prose, doesn't show any copyright violation signs, and both hooks are true in the article. Both hooks are fairly interesting, though in my personal opinion I like alt 1 more. I'll leave which one to use up to whoever places this in the queue, but I'm approving this regardless.

I'm currently talking to Bryon about getting a photo of him, which could become useful for DYK. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 20:27, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Maddy from Celeste and NegativeMP1: I wonder if "shot a film" is too colloquial for our worldwide audience. Bruxton (talk) 16:04, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruxton: may be. How would you say it? made/released a film? -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 14:45, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how the DYK image process works, but I've got some relevant photos at c:Category:Jordan Bryon now. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 14:47, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Maddy from Celeste and NegativeMP1: suggest:

ALT0a: ... that a trans man directed a film about the lives of Taliban militants in Afghanistan?

Also about the hook I am not sure if he was working with them or just documenting their lives. this will need approval if you agree with the new ALT0a Bruxton (talk) 20:47, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Maddy from Celeste and NegativeMP1: Bruxton (talk) 20:48, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Works fine for me. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 21:40, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: Since I wrote ALT0a maybe you would consider checking it and promoting? Bruxton (talk) 00:43, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruxton: Could you ping me back in a few days? Both empty preps currently already have hooks about modern conflict in the Middle East. (I'll probably promote ALT1.) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:48, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: We have open preps now. Bruxton (talk) 19:53, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
