• ... that rights to the film Cheap Thrills were sold in a day-long auction?

• Reviewed: The Master Singers

5x expanded by SL93 (talk). Self nominated at 22:54, 28 August 2013 (UTC).

• Expansion is new enough and long enough, but I'm not sure is it hook interesting enough. Perhaps another reviewer will decide. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 06:43, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
  • It is interesting enough. The bidding took all day for one film. From source - "Bidding wars are rare at the Austin fest, but competition broke out late Friday night after the film’s premiere where audience and critical enthusiasm was high. I hear Magnolia, Anchor Bay, and IFC were also in the running at various stages with some eager to buy right away. But in stark contrast to Sundance, where auctions carry on into the wee hours of the night and nobody sleeps, this deal took all of Saturday to unfold." SL93 (talk) 07:20, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

• A new reviewer needed to decide whether the hook is interesting, and to check on other DYK requirements beyond "new" and "long enough", such as sourcing, close paraphrasing, etc. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:59, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

• I think the hook fact is interesting enough but I'm not sure it has been expressed with sufficient clarity, because the "day-long auction" might have been for multiple films. It might make more sense if the hook said something like: "that rights to the film Cheap Thrills were the focus of a rare bidding war at the SXSW Festival" or something like that.

• That's fine. SL93 (talk) 21:34, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
• ALT1: ... that rights to the film Cheap Thrills were the focus of a rare bidding war at the South by Southwest Festival? SL93 (talk) 21:35, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

• The fact that bidding wars at the festival are rare needs to be mentioned in the article. DoctorKubla (talk) 20:05, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

• I added it. SL93 (talk) 13:21, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

• Okay. No other problems with the article or hook. ALT1 approved. DoctorKubla (talk) 19:47, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
