... that Sean Combs promised not to spill champagne on the Declaration of Independence?

And I promise not to spill champagne on it" https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2004/07/07/p-diddy-does-politics/, https://archive.is/ivRpf, P. Diddy does politics, The Tampa Bay Times, 7 July 2004]

Hello No Swan So Fine: article created within a week of nomination; QPQ checks out; hook is interesting; no copyvio detected; source checks out. My only question: would it be better to call Mr. Combs by his more well known name of P. Diddy or Diddy? I'm not sure if I'd click on the DYK if it said Sean Combs, I'd be much more likely to do so if it said Diddy, given the recent news and memes. My only thought. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 05:12, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Darth Stabro: I think we should respect the name he currently goes by ... but P. Diddy is certainly better for views! No Swan So Fine (talk) 19:05, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Swan So Fine sounds good! Nihil obstat. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 04:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Darth Stabro and No Swan So Fine: I have MOS:EGG concerns regarding the hook, in that no-one will know where the bolded link goes. Any way to rephrase? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:52, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 ... that during one of his Diddy parties, Sean Combs promised not to spill champagne on the Declaration of Independence?

Not sure if the hook needs to specify "an original copy of", and I have no opinion if the hook should say "P Diddy" or not, though depending on how he was called at the time, maybe that might be a point of discussion? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:47, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I like how that sounds.~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 00:50, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: I think "an original copy of" would be overkill as the meaning is clear without it. I'm going to suggest ALT2: ... that during one of his Diddy parties, P. Diddy promised not to spill champagne on the Declaration of Independence?; a promoter can take their pick.--Laun chba ller 23:23, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Darth Stabro: Are ALT1 and ALT2 approved now? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:20, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, fine with either. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 01:23, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a wrong encyclopedic entry. It should be renamed..

White parties have been going on in the elite circles well before Sean Combs decided to start throwing them. It seems inappropriate to give him credit for the entire concept which has dated back centuries! 2603:8001:7106:C515:7811:9D52:2B0E:FC2C (talk) 23:48, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Diddy parties is a widely known term and is how most people know it. I’ve never heard of white parties before Eg224 (talk) 20:06, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

White parties certainly existed before Diddy, but how does this article credit Diddy with them? ꧁Zanahary꧂ 09:34, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aint no party like a diddy party Eg224 (talk) 06:24, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

More baby oil

You should put more topics about baby oil (vegetable oil, olive oil, etc.) in this page, considering that these parties had lots of oil-ing up involved. Not putting more of a key detail in this article is inconsiderate. >:( PDrizzy6tyNine (talk) 16:22, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
