Overall: ALT2 is not really suitable in this form, since it's not clear who it's accusing of antisemitism, but any other hook would be fine. Smurrayinchester 11:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. For what it's worth, I initially didn't really think the tugboat thing was that interesting (it has to do more with people protesting Julia Rice, who just so happened to live in the house). I might consider a hook about it later, though. Epicgenius (talk) 12:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually what about this?

ALT4: ... that tugboat operators protested outside the Isaac L. Rice Mansion after Julia Barnett Rice formed a committee to protest unnecessary noise? Epicgenius (talk) 12:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll mark this as ready, and let the admin decide which hook to use. Thanks for the quick reply! Smurrayinchester 14:46, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
