Hook

Coffeeandcrumbs Please suggest another hook. Per WP:DYK, the hook needs to be cited at the end of the sentence where mentioned in the article. Other than the lead, where Hawkeye7 had recapped the article content, I don't find the hook stated in any one sentence or location in the article, even on a word search. An ALT hook, please. — Maile (talk) 12:54, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

I just cited the first part of the hook since it would benefit the FAC. Here it is as an ALT:
- ALT 1: ... that Michael Collins was the first person to perform two spacewalks?

Hopefully I can get the second part cited as well. It looks like I miscounted anyway (fixed here at least) but it seems interesting. However I don't want to sabotage the FAC. Let's just go with this ALT 1 for now.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 13:54, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

ALT1 stated in the article and cited twice at the end of the sentence. — Maile (talk) 14:04, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

ALT1 hook and nomination passes for 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11.— Maile (talk) 14:13, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I'm confused. In the lead it says he was the first to perform 2 spacewalks, but in the body it says he was the first to perform 2 spacewalks in the same mission. I think that last detail is important to add to the hook. Yoninah (talk) 00:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

He was both. The first to perform a second spacewalk and the first to perform two space walks in the same mission. Pick your poison! And phrase it how you like. You can link to List of spacewalkers where he is list as the fourth ever who performed EVA 1 and EVA 2 on the Gemini 10 mission. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 00:45, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Restoring tick per Maile's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
