Great article, but not "our" hook, ... that Lingua Ignota's 2019 album Caligula is named after the eponymous Roman emperor as a representation of "the society that we live in on the edge of ruin"? - ... and it's my fault because I failed to strike the sensational. I guess it's a bit late to fight, for the few remaining hours, and I bet that the one we have will attract more views. But I still prefer the other. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:52, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Yeah, that's a shame, the other hook was pretty neat. Do you think it's worth saying something on WP:ERRORS though and suggest our hook? mike•owen ^discuss 09:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Well, why not, just to raise a bit more attention for a nice sophisticated thing talking about "the society that we live in on the edge of ruin". I'm pretty sure that for simple statistics, the brutal "murderious" will be more appealing to the masses I'm always told to consider ... - We have something like 2 hours to go, so I guess a change will not happen, but again, more attention, why not? - It "yours", - you do it, please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:41, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Since there isn't too much time I think I'll let it be. It's still a pretty interesting hook nonetheless, so hopefully that will attract readers. Thanks a lot for approving the hook! mike•owen ^discuss 10:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
