Vivi Vassileva
Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 18:02, 20 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Vivi Vassileva; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Suggesting some possible alternate hooks:
- ALT0a ... that percussionist Vivi Vassileva played Gregor Mayrhofer's Recycling Concerto on instruments derived from garbage?
- ALT1 ... that Vivi Vassileva was inspired to become a percussionist after drummers at a beach in Bulgaria invited her to play with them when she was eight?
- ALT2 ... that percussionist Vivi Vassileva has drummed using everyday materials and recycled garbage?

- Thank you for the suggestions. They are all interesting but leave out that she played this Recycling Concerto in the great halls of Europe (Elbphilhamonie ... - yes, not yet in the article, no time), received a prestigious prize before turning 30, or - as I tried, mainly to please you - was an outstanding early achiever. I think the small hooky facts are more impressive on that background - whichever of the three. Anybody can drum on flower pots, but only she - afaik - with a symphony orchestra. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:28, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- I began an article for the composer, and just linked twice without new ALTs. With more expansion, he may become ready for a double nom. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:43, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Overall:
Nice article. All hooks approved. I would prefer a modified version of ALT0:
ALT0b: ... that
Vivi Vassileva, a
percussionist who was the youngest member of the
German national youth orchestra, has played
Gregor Mayrhofer's
Recycling Concerto on instruments derived from garbage?
for clarity and "hookiness", but it isn't necessary.

- I would second ALT0b if it can help this nomination get past the finish line; I would not recommend ALT0 as written as it doesn't flow as well as the other proposals. My only concern with ALT0b is that it may have too many links; at the very least I don't think "percussionist" needs a link. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 14:08, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- ALT0c: ... that Vivi Vassileva, a percussionist who was the youngest member of the German national youth orchestra, has played Gregor Mayrhofer's Recycling Concerto on instruments derived from garbage? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:41, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- I like that. @~~ AirshipJungleman29 : ready to go?
