  • CAPTAIN MEDUSA Hey, I think the hook could be snappier (sorry if I wasn't clear in the comment above, my bad), maybe something like:
ALT0b: ... that Malla kings were apparently watched bathing in the Tusha Hiti (pictured) by the queen and others? How does that sound to you? Lajmmoore (talk) 14:47, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
  • @Lajmmoore: A hook using an active verb is far preferable to one using a passive verb. Striking the alt. Yoninah (talk) 23:19, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

  • Thanks, Lajmmoore, but what is a yoni? You needn't add so much detail to make a good hook; short and snappy like ALT0 is the way to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:35, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
  • A yoni is a vulva. I'll make that clearer in the hook. Or maybe a new hook altogether? I don't know what you might think @CAPTAIN MEDUSA:?

ALT2: ... that yoni shaped bath (pictured) used by the Malla royal family might have tasted like sugarcane juice? ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 14:20, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
  • I like that very much! It's fits all the requirements (new enough, long enough, cited in the article with this reference[1]) - what do you think @Yoninah:? (Lajmmoore (talk) 14:32, 12 October 2020 (UTC))
  • Well, the bath didn't taste like sugarcane juice, the water did.
  • Lajmmoore, you have to be aware that if you put an unusual word in the hook before the bolded link, most people will click on that instead of the bolded link, which defeats the purpose. Yoninah (talk) 15:17, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

  • I think it's time to go back to ALT0. Yoninah (talk) 15:55, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
  • I think we can get there with something different! a) because Tusha Hiti, should come before unusual words (thanks for the reminder above) and b) ALT0 sounded quite vague, which is why I'd asked for something snappier to begin with. Maybe the sugarcane juice is a piece of infomation too many @CAPTAIN MEDUSA:? It's your DYK nomination @CAPTAIN MEDUSA: though, so let's follow your suggestion! (Lajmmoore (talk) 08:34, 13 October 2020 (UTC))
  • Let me explain from a promoter's perspective. The image is too dark so I wouldn't use it. This leaves the hook to stand on its own. The bolded link is obscure enough to get people to click on it even at the end of ALT0. Plus, the hook fact is titillating. Please wrap up this review already. Yoninah (talk) 12:16, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks Yoninah - we disagree on this, but hey ho! For information, please could you point me to the image rules for reviewers? I was under the impression the image was within the parameters? (Lajmmoore (talk) 16:11, 13 October 2020 (UTC))
  • The reviewer only has to check the image licensing and whether it appears in the article. See WP:DYKR#If there is an image. It's up to the promoter to use it or not. Yoninah (talk) 16:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
