Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Walter White (Tennessee politician); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

date, length, close paraphrase check ok. Both original hook and ALT1 are sourced in article. QPQ still pending. But I'm not sure I get the April Fool's point completly. I get that it is supposed to make the reader think we are speaking of the Breaking Bad character, but I don't that BB is global cultural phenomenon to the level that the joke works universally (Walter White is a dab page). With the risk of being boring I'd suggest adding "Tenesee politician" to ALT1 for clarity. --Soman (talk) 17:15, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Soman: If it can't be an April Fool's hook then I propose ALT2 "... that Walter White was a member of the prosecution for the Scopes trial in 1925, despite not passing the bar until 1944?"

@Soman: I added in the QPQ. Jon698 (talk) 23:01, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 ok for me. Now no sentence contains both factoids, but 2 sentences in article are sourced. --Soman (talk) 18:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
