  • If you have any suggestions for Alt hooks, Thriley, please feel free to add them. SilverserenC 20:58, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The phrasing in the hook makes it sound like women were radicalized into supporting issues, as opposed to acting against them. A more appropriate phrasing might be this:

I've gone ahead and just removed the last word in the main hook, since it's not really a suggestion for an entirely alternative hook, but just that one word. And I agree with your reasoning on removing it, CJ-Moki. Does that work? SilverserenC 00:49, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
@Silver seren: Yes, that works. CJ-Moki (talk) 00:56, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
@Silver seren and CJ-Moki: there are four occasions of women's/Woman/women in a seventeen word sentence. Any way we could decrease the repetition a little? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:04, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
@Silver seren and AirshipJungleman29: I think this might work:
  • ALT2: ... that Sandra Elkin discussing basic information on women's topics on Woman "radicalized" viewers into supporting feminism?
CJ-Moki (talk) 21:13, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
If you'd like, CJ-Moki. I kinda did the repetition of woman and women on purpose because I thought it made the hook more fun and interesting. SilverserenC 23:05, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
@Silver seren and AirshipJungleman29: I actually agree and prefer ALT1 over ALT2. CJ-Moki (talk) 23:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Ok, I'll promote ALT1 but I can't guarantee it won't be changed. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:03, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
