C.J. Pearson[edit]

(

  • ALT1:... that a YouTube video by C.J. Pearson, about Rudy Giuliani's comments criticizing U.S. President Barack Obama, went viral with over 1.8 million views as of May 2015?
  • Reviewed: Exception: If, at the time a nomination is promoted to the main page, its nominator has fewer than five DYK credits (whether or not self-nominated) then the nomination is exempt from QPQ.

Created by CookieMonster755 (talk) and Yoninah (talk). Self-nominated at 04:10, 11 May 2015 (UTC).

  • Slight punct adjustment to the hooks. I've struck ALT0 because from is for directors and movie studios. EEng (talk) 01:25, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough. But Rule D7 requires the article to appear to be complete, which this does not. It seems he is notable for one event: his viral message and his problems with Facebook. Also, too much of the article consists of quotes from him rather than encyclopedic prose. For a bio, there is nothing about his early life, education, family, etc. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYKs. Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Thank you, that's better. I went ahead and reorganized the presentation to give you an idea of how it should be laid out. But now it's under 1500 characters. Please do a little more research to fill in his personal data and bring the article up to the minimum length. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 10:17, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
Thank you Yoninah. I will do more research and get back to you. CookieMonster755 (talk) 16:57, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
  • The article has now been expanded to meet the DYK length and content requirements. The hook, though, could be sharper. What do you think about:
  • ALT2: ... that 12-year-old conservative political activist C.J. Pearson defended former mayor Rudy Giuliani and criticized President Barack Obama in a YouTube video that got nearly two million views?
  • Note: The number of hits is not properly sourced in the article; the citation from WND only mentions "over a half-million" views. Yoninah (talk) 19:08, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
  • I understand you're new, but things need to be sourced properly on Wikipedia in general. I found a reliable source for nearly 2 million views, and am presenting ALT3:
  • ALT3: ... that 12-year-old conservative political activist C.J. Pearson defended former mayor Rudy Giuliani and criticized President Barack Obama in a YouTube video that got nearly two million views?
  • I would appreciate a DYK co-credit for all the work I put into this article.
  • Could another reviewer sign off on ALT3, since I added the cite? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:28, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Excuse me Yoninah? I am not "new", and I know how to source articles just fine. ALT3 is fine, but your asking for someone else to review it. That's fine. CookieMonster755 (talk) 21:39, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
  • This article is long enough and was new enough when nominated for DYK. ALT3 is acceptable, the hook facts have inline citations to reliable sources. The article is neutral and I found no evidence of close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:16, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
