Alt0a ... that J. K. Rowling had printed passages of the "lost manuscript" of The Ickabog on the dress she wore to her 50th birthday party? --evrik ^(talk) 16:38, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a is fine by me- I think it does flow slightly more nicely (though I do always try and have bolded hook as close to the start as possible). Joseph2302 (talk) 12:14, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302: I think ALT0 is much better for a quirky slot. Is it okay to promote that one? Yoninah (talk) 20:17, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah Yes, fine by me. Joseph2302 (talk) 20:23, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is too much vandalism[edit]

People keep vandalizing the page, like someone changed Dora Dovetail's name to "Amelia" which I was able to fix, and another person simply put Flapoons description as "evil major" which is too brief. We need protection. HiGuys69420 (talk) 04:43, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Needs work[edit]

The text is filled with redundancies and needs to be rewritten. Ganondox (talk) 23:37, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
