Created by Cunard (talk). Self-nominated at 09:33, 16 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Calypso Cabaret; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough. Long enough, at 13,116 characters.
Did a spot check for plagiarism and close-paraphrasing; what I saw looks good. Clever way to source refs 3-20. Ref2 in the lead, though, is incorrect; it should be changed to ref24 (another Nation source). I find that these kinds of errors pop up a lot, so please make sure your refs go to the right sources.
Hook is interesting (mentioning Lady Gaga is always a good idea), with the right source, and is long enough. QPQ done. Fix the above-mentioned error and I'll AGF that you checked your sources, and I'll pass this. Interesting and fun article, good work.

- Thank you for the review and for catching the error! I've fixed the error. Cunard (talk) 09:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Cunard: you're welcome. Can you confirm that you checked your other sources, please? Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs), I've checked the other sources and found one instance of a misplaced source. Cunard (talk) 09:20, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      - @Cunard: AGF that the sources are all good. Good to go. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:47, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
