Overall: I don't think Alt1 is cited. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Gog, as always:) You mean Alt1 is not the article? "Baghdadi scholars like Ahmad ibn Hanbal declared Ali's reign as fitna (civil war).[4]" Although the part on his conversion to Sunnism comes in a later section. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 18:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I mean I am an idiot. Alt1 is the hook. Thank you for picking that up. Corrected. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:29, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Gog the Mild: I want to promote this hook, but am unsure what is meant by "ALT1 is the hook. Does this mean that ALT0 (the original hook at the very top) is *not* approved? Or simply that you prefer ALT1? Cielquiparle (talk) 14:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cielquiparle, apologies, I should have been clearer. I consider ALT0 to be too long and too complicated, to the point that I don't consider it hooky, without having any objections to it beyond that subjective opinion. Or, in fine, yes, I prefer ALT1.

@Gog the Mild and AhmadLX: Thanks for clarifying. Personally I like ALT0 better, but agree that it's too long, so might suggest cutting the last part, so it simply says:
Any objections? Cielquiparle (talk) 15:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. That looks pretty hooky, and passes all the other bits it needs to. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have any objections either. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 15:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
