A fact from Aisling (book series) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 April 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the novel series Aisling is based on a character archetype elaborated upon by users of a Facebook group?

Not a review, and I do my QPQs oldest first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to any other editor doing so in the meantime); our article for 'culchie' suggests that 'culchie' "usually has a pejorative meaning". Is there a reason it is being used in the hook?--Launchballer10:13, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Article is new enough and long enough. Information is sourced and neutral. Earwig highlights quotations and names, so is plagiarism free. Hooks are cited. In terms of interest, I can see how if you're familiar with all the terms used in them, then they are interesting, however I'm not and if I found them a little difficult to discern, others might too. I wonder whether there's some re-wording to just help readers a little more? Lajmmoore (talk) 08:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bogger and Lajmoore: I'm not sure if I'm getting the context right, but maybe this works?
ALT2: ... that the Aisling novel series, based on a character archetype discussed in a Facebook group, was described by TheJournal.ie as a "publishing phenomenon"?
ALT3 ... that the Aisling novel series is based on a character archetype elaborated upon by users of a Facebook group?
ALT3 might require a rewording or clarification in the article, but I think there's potential in the "novel is based on a Facebook group" angle specifically, less so with the "publishing phenomenon" angle. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
