• Comment: I think that ALT1 is a better hook than the proposed one. I feel iffy about making a DYK that links to penis on the Wikipedia home page, and I think the ALT1 hook is more interesting and easier to read, and will prompt more people to want to read the article for more information. (I haven't commented like this on a DYK nomination before, so please move this comment if I put it in the wrong place.) —Mjks28 (talk) 08:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd be perfectly fine with ALT1, I knew that ALT0 was out there when creating this, but figured it didn't hurt to add. TheDoctorWho (talk) 09:13, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• New enough (Jan 8), long enough (13000 B), no copyvio (Earwig says 26%, but mostly direct quotes and the show's title), well-sourced with citations to every statement except plot summary. TheDoctorWho, ALT0 is not verified in source; I see one source mention the penis joke and another mention that jokes were cut for being NSFW, but I don't see a statement connecting the two. ALT1 and ALT2 verified in sources (though the article needs an end-of-sentence citation for the statement about Willy's Chocolate Experience). I agree with Mjks28 that ALT1 is the most interesting. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 00:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let's just go with ALT1 to make things simple. I made sure that the citation is directly attached to the sentence with the hook, so that issue is solved as well. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sunny episode isn't July 9

All of the previously included sources from Variety, Deadline, and TVLine do not explicitly state that this crossover will be part of the season's 2-ep premiere. They are all just calling it a clip/promo looking at the new season. (In a clip teasing the new season, We’re also getting a glimpse of the new season in a promo released today, and FXX has also released a promo for Season 17’s crossover episode, respectively. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch all of that, IndieWire confirmed back in January that the Sunny part of the “Abbott” crossover event will serve as the premiere episode. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:38, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
