Gay Life (TV series)
[edit]- ... that Gay Life was the world's first LGBT television series?
- ALT 1 ... that Gay Life was the United Kingdom's first LGBT television series?
- Reviewed: Schmerber v. California
- Comment: Citation says "First ever gay television series", I have interpreted this to include LGBT wide definition as the show did not focus exclusively on gay men.

Sorry Gareth E Kegg, but one source says only that it was Britain's first gay TV series, and while the other source does declare it "the first ever gay TV series", the context appears to be gay milestones in the United Kingdom. So I think either the hook should be changed to "the United Kingdom's first LGBT television series" or another source found. I haven't pulled or altered this hook yet because there is still about 24 hours17 hours to go before it is scheduled to appear, but the issue will still need quick resolution.

Look, we haveI just removed it from the prep area, so another article can be promoted quickly. George Ho (talk) 23:07, 14 July 2015 (UTC)139 hours left. You've got plenty of time, but we shan't hold up one set any longer for this. Meanwhile,- The prep area where the hook was formerly located became a queue when the replacement was added. I guess issues must be fixed without deadline then. George Ho (talk) 05:31, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- I've put the ALT hook up as requested. I'm sure my original hook was true, the series is so obscure, no RS has claimed the 'world's first' tag yet! Gareth E Kegg (talk) 23:12, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
- Apologies if this seems a tad pedantic Gareth E Kegg, but after removing all the quotes in the article, it is 1479 characters long which is 21 short of the minimum requirement. Gatoclass (talk) 05:36, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for noticing, I've expanded it ever so slightly. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
