• New enough and long enough with no problems in terms of policy that I can see. The copyvio mentioned by the bot looks to be negligible, coming from names of organizations. QPQ complete. My preference is for ALT1, and it is indeed present and sourced in the article. I wish we had an image from the strike or a clearer portrait, but it's a nice article and a good hook. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 00:56, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

• Why is ALT0 interesting? EEng 19:12, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Does that help? Not sure what the point of your question is, other than to be rude. MopTop (talk) 22:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

MopTop, try not to take EEng's comment personally. I'm sure it is intended as constructive criticism. If you want your hook to make it onto the front page, you have to expect others to comment. By the way, I happen to agree with EEng - there's nothing particularly remarkable about a white person being on the board of a black organisation, either in 1942 or today. ALT1 is a much more interesting hook. Edwardx (talk) 23:56, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

I will strive to be Little Mary Sunshine from now on. MopTop (talk) 04:00, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
