ArionStar, at 295 displayed characters, the hook is far beyond the 200-character maximum at DYK. You'll need to propose a much-shorter ALT hook; I've struck the original one. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:11, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
The record-breaking information is interesting and curious enough to be mentioned. ArionStar (talk) 19:16, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I'll leave it up to you guys, but I was thinking we could maybe put it on WP:DYKAPRIL. Bremps... 05:20, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
"while protest" I'm pretty sure is not grammatically correct. Maybe "while protesting" or "in protest of"? - Purplewowies (talk) 17:58, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Overall: Draft article moved to mainspace within the allotted time; new and long enough. Sourced, but I had to remove some CLOP and add attribution and quotes to poorly quoted material. I also lightly edited the lead.[1] QPQ not required. Technical note: in terms of the picused criterion, the image doesn't actually appear in the article, it appears in the {{Cory Booker series}} template which appears in the article, which I should think qualifies just the same. Love the idea of adding the video instead, but I will leave that to others to decide. I was bold and went ahead and removed the strange and highly unusual wording of "Democratic's" from both hooks.[2] I've never seen the party referred to in that way and I think it called for a bold removal. If anyone thinks mentioning the party is important, there are a number of conventional ways of doing so. One of my faves is to write "Cory Booker (D-NJ)" but it may not be needed. As for the hooks, I have no real strong feelings, but the wording of ALT3 doesn't really work so I don't approve it. I approve ALT1 and ALT2, but minor changes may be needed per the above.

You're getting into stylistic concerns and differences. There's no one true way, but I think cramming as many words and links as you are doing doesn't work, but I will leave it to others. The ideal hook here, IMO, would read:
That's just, like, my opinion, man. Viriditas (talk) 02:22, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
I think "ALT1" is more complete and the photo is better; the thumbnail of the video is not interesting enough to be inserted on Wikipedia:Main Page. ArionStar (talk) 18:13, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
That’s cool, but it’s long, it’s got too many links, and it’s not supposed to be "complete". Not sure why you are arguing over it when I already approved it. Viriditas (talk) 19:59, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, it's my second hook nomination here… ArionStar (talk) 18:04, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Nothing to be sorry about. You're doing good work. Others might find the hook fine or will find something wrong with it, who knows. Always good to cover all the bases or we will back here or on the talk page. Viriditas (talk) 21:29, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
@Viriditas: what are you concerns with ALT3? It seems exceptionally hooky, would make a great quirky hook imo. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 02:24, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Apologies, as I don't want to insult anyone, but the hook "Cory Booker talked for 25 hours in a row" gives me "Welcome to Costco, I love you" vibes. Perhaps I am out of touch with the community at this point. Viriditas (talk) 02:33, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
It seems Approved. What to do after it? ArionStar (talk) 06:10, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
@ArionStar: I appreciate your enthusiasm. No need to add the confirmed tick again as I already did that, and you're the nom. However, it may help to continue discussing with User:Darth Stabro about the other hook if you like. We are still waiting for an uninvolved editor to promote and that often takes time due to the limited number of volunteers. Viriditas (talk) 21:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
