- Having read the article, I'd suggest additional hook proposals be proposed because the currently-proposed hook isn't really that interesting by itself. There's no shortage about possible hooks here, with the Production section itself being full of possible material. One possible hook could be how the original choice for cinematographer had to back out due to his wife's childbirth, but there are also other possible options. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:33, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Hi Narutolovehinata5, thanks for reviewing the article! I actually think quite the opposite. I chose the current proposed hook because Chang Chen is a veteran actor with over 40 years of experience and has participated in numerous Hollywood projects, but this is his very first time serving as a producer. On the other hand, the cinematographers weren't really big names that would arouse anyone's interest, and dropping out of a film project sounds too common and trivial. While writing the article, I actually thought of two potential hooks (didn't include them initially as I thought the current one was better):
- 1. ...that the 2024 romance film 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days was purposefully filmed in Japan during March, taking advantage of the country's seasonal change to capture both snowfalls and cherry blossoms in the same month?
- 2. ...that Greg Hsu took a hiatus from filming the 2024 romance film 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days to attend the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards but returned to the set the very next day?
- What do you think?—Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 12:51, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Prince of Erebor: The main concern I have about the original hook is that if the reader wasn't familiar with Chen, the significance of the information wouldn't be as obvious. He isn't a household name like say Jackie Chan. Having said that, I like the first option. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:55, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: Right, that's absolutely true. I included a description of him starring in Dune for the exact same reason. I have updated with the new hook.

The current hook above "...that the 2024 film 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days was purposefully filmed in Japan during March, leveraging the country's seasonal change to capture both snowfalls and cherry blossoms in the same month?" is the revised hook. It is 197 characters long. Is there a bug or something?

- That is weird. When I copy-pasted the hook the one I copypasted was over 200 characters excluding the dots at the start. I must have copied from an old revision of the page. in any case, 197 characters, while acceptable, is still on the long side and I wonder if it could be shortened further since that length is not ideal. If not, I'll accept it as is. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 05:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks! The article is new enough and free from close paraphrasing. The current hook is interesting and cited inline; it is cited to a Taiwanese source so AGF on the reliability, but the provided English translation and a Google Translate translation check out. A QPQ has been done. There's only a minor issue in that I would suggest including a sentence or two about reception in the lede for completeness sake, but as this isn't a GA that isn't really something that should prevent approval, it's just a suggestion.

Earwig has a high score for copyvio detection, but that's entirely due to Messi's paragraph-long statement in the "Departure and Japan trip" section, which has an inline citation to the flagged source.

- New enough, long enough, and properly sourced. No QPQ needed. Earwig found no problematic copied wording. Good-enough hook, but one must synthesize a couple pieces of information in the article to obtain it: the "largest township" part is at the end of the town section, dated to the early 19th century, while the "deserted" part is at the end of the "clearance" section. In fact both facts are adjacent in the "Maverick Guide to Scotland" source, with much tighter dating (largest in 1815; cleared between 1814 and 1818) and to avoid problems with WP:SYN the article would benefit from making them adjacent somewhere within it, footnoted to that source. Also, "deserted" is maybe a euphemism for what happened. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:14, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks David. What if the sentence in the Town section said "Before the clearance, it was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver"? That would would be consistent with the Maverick Guide guide source and not change up the current before-during-after structure. I could also change the sentence in the Clearance section to say "completely deserted by 1818" to avoid any ambiguity.
- I think "deserted" is, from a NPOV, the end result of what happened, it describes what's left. You could say "forcibly depopulated" or something but I think "deserted" is clear enough and used in the sources. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- To me, "deserted" is an accurate and neutral description of the state of the place now, but not of the process by which it reached that state. How about
- ALT1 ... that before its inhabitants were evicted, Rosal was the largest of 49 townships in Strathnaver?
- but that would require a new reviewer as I can't both propose hooks and approve them. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Overall: I prefer ALT1 to ALT. The hook length is acceptable for both. ALT has a couple of issues: the title of the article does not appear, but more importantly, the idea of the office's powers is not clearly conveyed: it currently says "for over 200 years until 1968 with the power to prevent ANY new play from being performed". However, those powers were somewhat restricted after 1843, so to say ANY new play could be restricted after 1843 is perhaps misleading. This hook could be rephrased slightly, but at this point, for both reasons, I recommend ALT1 instead. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 23:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

- Voorts, thank you for the review, I tried to do a few QPQs before I needed them and they have got rather old. Fortunately WP:QPQ says QPQs do not expire and may be used at any time for a future DYK nomination. TSventon (talk) 00:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Voorts and TSventon: I cannot confirm in any sources that this was the first known skeleton. Maybe first "complete" can be investigated if sources support? I do see a source for "Peale eventually founded the first natural history museum in the United States". But I do not know about the reliability of the source (czasopisma) - that can be investigated for a hook idea, or you can introduce a different hook. Bruxton (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Overall: Thanks for creating this. I've read some interesting first person accounts that mention the women Russian exiles. Please tag me once the missing citation is added. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: I'm confused as to why this claim needs a citation? She collaborated on Lavrov's Vpered, was involved in a Narodnik organisation, was tried in two mass trials of Narodnik revolutionaries and actively organised with other Narodniks for decades. Is it not exceedingly obvious that this was the movement she was involved in? --Grnrchst (talk) 08:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Grnrchst: Yes, but all of that relies on the reader having knowledge of what that movement was and who it involved. For a Wikipedia reader who follows the hook to a topic that they aren't knowledgeable about, none of that is obvious. So I would suggest adding a sentence or phrase later in the body that in which you explicitly use the term Narodnik, with a citation to something that clarifies or at least uses that term.

- 5x expansion has been done, sources check out, QPQ completed too. Only minor gripe is that the hook is rather vague but everything looks okay otherwise. Cheers, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 13:06, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
