• I literally just edit conflicted with you while reviewing a DYK hook... and then edit conflicted again to create this nomination. What are the odds? Anyway, I was actually about to suggest this hook:

• ALT1: ... that Sidney Gish (pictured) started an internship that involved finding new musicians, the same week that Spotify featured her as a new musician?

I beg your pardon. I was looking through Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/9 for stuff to nominate.--Launchballer 03:13, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, just thought it was a fun coincidence. I had also reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Angus Watt (financial advisor) with the intent of using it as the QPQ for this nom. If you want, I can count this as the QPQ so you can save your QPQ for something else. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 04:19, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do my own, but thanks for the offer.--Launchballer 22:23, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• The article is new enough (promoted to GA on 6 October 2025), is long enough (5562 characters), has no copyright problems (per GA review), and is presentable (per GA review and readthrough). The hook is cited in the article, short enough, and interesting. However in the article in The Boston Globe, it says "Like those influences, Gish is a polymath, having added piano, ukulele, and guitar to a skillset that also boasts what’s called 'perfect pitch,' the ability to recognize and recreate musical notes without reference tones (though she stresses she’s not always completely correct)." So does she really have perfect pitch? Reading the article, I thought that the "Frankensteining" might be used in a hook, but it would have to be done in a manner that doesn't direct people to another article. Both images appear to be properly licensed and are used in the article, I would prefer a photo which shows her eyes, but I think the first one is clearer at a smaller size, so I prefer it. – Editør (talk) 09:05, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2: ... that Sidney Gish (pictured) has described her composition process as "Frankensteining"? ALT1 is also an option.--Launchballer 13:25, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think ALT1 doesn't work, because the two elements that are combined may have happened around the same time but otherwise they seem unrelated. I think ALT2 is interesting and it is cited in the article. I think the process of Frankensteining could be better explained in the article though.

I hereby pass ALT2 with the first image. The image could be slightly cropped. The words "singer-songwriter" might be added to the hook. – Editør (talk) 20:01, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Personally, I think ALT1 is more interesting. I disagree with your statement that these events were "unrelated", as multiple sources mention the two events coinciding (the coincidence itself is what's interesting). But I also approve of ALT2. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 17:50, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
