The Role You Were Born to Play
[edit]- ... that "The Role You Were Born to Play" was part of Blake Jenner's prize for winning The Glee Project?

- length is fine, and date is fine. But the hook fact is not quite in the article (it hints that winning the Glee Project got him the role) nor do the two sources quite say that. Normally I would also note that an entire section contains no sourcing, but apparently plot summaries are exempt from it at DYK, as apparently nobody seems to think it might constitute original research (nothing personal, just an odd exemption).

- I've added a third source, a Hollywood Reporter story that's specific about the seven episodes (second paragraph) and that it was winning the Glee Project that got him the role, and made the sentence more specific as well. Let me know if you feel the hook is still insufficiently supported; there are more sources out there for just about every aspect, and further rewording is always possible. As you note, Plot sections are exempt from the sourcing requirement at DYK (WP:DYKSG, D2), but the same is also true of these sections in Good Articles and even Featured Articles (the best of Wikipedia), so it's hardly surprising that DYK would reflect this standard.

- all good now with added source and re-word at the article. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:19, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, and for recheck it so quickly! BlueMoonset (talk) 06:26, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
