... that Anne Chisholm once had a fictional goat named after her over a negative book review she wrote, to which she said "all publicity is good publicity"? Source: In 1988, the writer and critic Anne Chisholm not only criticised Rivals in a review for The Spectator magazine but also gave away the plot. Cooper, appearing to believe that revenge would be a dish best served cold, named a goat Chisholm in her latest novel. Jump. + "Chisolm" (the misspelling is Cooper's) is a goat, who has a sweet enough nature, but is described leaving mess in the car and on the kitchen floor. Surprised that she should be remembered after all these years, Anne Chisholm reacted philosophically. "On the whole, Cooper's revenge could have been a great deal worse," she wrote. "And all publicity is good publicity."

I will take this review. HerBauhaus · talk 04:41, 28 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Created on 24 September and nominated on 27 September, so it is new and long enough at 395 words. It is neutral, with no copyvio concerns, and Earwig overlaps are from quotations and standard phrasing. QPQ complete. Both hooks are cited, verified, and interesting. I prefer ALT1 as the shorter, hookier formulation. Well done! HerBauhaus · talk 06:41, 28 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
