  • Date of GA status, close paraphrase check checks out. No QPQ needed. That said, I'd encourage reflection on ALT hook, considering that Swift was a major international star when the album was released it is not unusual that the song was shared widely. Perhaps the fact that the album was sold at a specific event should be highlighted. --Soman (talk) 15:43, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey Soman, I made two alternative hooks with the added location of where the CD was sold, both are just arranged differently. Does this suffice? Gained (talk) 10:43, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
for ALT1/ALT2, ok good, my preference is ALT2. --Soman (talk) 10:55, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
@Gained @Soman I can't promote this hook quite yet. While the source does confirm that fans were eager to "get their hands on the disc" at MetLife Stadium, it also only confirms that some of the "first attendees" and not necessarily fans uploaded the song online. Maybe a slight reword would suffice? PrimalMustelid (talk) 01:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
@PrimalMustelid @Soman I made a slight tweak on the latter hook which Soman preferred, replacing "fans" with "attendees". Gained (talk) 07:17, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
ALT3 is 204 characters. I can't promote this.--Launchballer 15:22, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@PrimalMustelid @Soman @Launchballer Whoops I forgot about the character limit, my apologies.. I trimmed the hook to 194 characters. Gained (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
If you're okay with the further trimmed
ALT5:... that after releasing a CD edition of Taylor Swift's album Midnights at MetLife Stadium containing the exclusive song "You're Losing Me", some of the first purchasers uploaded the song online?
I can approve it, or I can also suggest:
ALT6: ... that before being widely shared online, the Taylor Swift song "You're Losing Me" was initially exclusive to a CD version of Midnights sold at a MetLife Stadium concert?--Launchballer 16:14, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@Launchballer Both hooks are good, though I prefer ALT5 because this is what I had in mind when rephrasing ALT4.. but with better flow. Gained (talk) 16:28, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
