@Gwillhickers: can we get your thoughts on the above so that this DYK can be promoted? Z1720 (talk) 17:14, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720:, If we go with ALT0+2 then we leave out the part where Childs' newspaper was the third daily newspaper to appear in the U.S., which is quite a distinction, and at the expense of saying he printed some laws. ALT2 simply says that Childs, and his partner, were the sole printers of these laws, while somewhat interesting, ignores Childs' distinctive accomplishment of founding the 3rd newspaper to appear in the U.S.. Prefer to go with the original hook. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 18:32, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Promoted ALT0 to Prep 1, per the nominator's request. I added a comma after "States" because this is the third paper printed in the US, not the third paper printed in 1785. The comma hopefully makes this clearer. Z1720 (talk) 20:37, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
