5x expanded by Morgan695 (talk). Self-nominated at 04:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC).
- Will be claiming this for review and hoping to finish within the next few days, but ALT1 is probably the most attention-grabbing option so far. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:56, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- I think ALT0 or ALT2, the ones that mention 'gay' stuff, are much more attention-grabbing. Many more people care about LGBT issues than about water bugs and pen names. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:38, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Do you still intend to take up this review, User:Narutolovehinata5? Morgan695 (talk) 17:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Apologies for the delay! I was planning on getting to this yesterday but got caught up in some real-life matters earlier. I'll try to do the review later today, and while I do note Piotrus's comment, I will have to disagree that the water bug angle isn't interesting (in fact I honestly find ALT0 bland compared to ALT1 or ALT2).

The 5x expansion took place on the day of the nomination and the image is freely licensed and acceptable. The only hits I found on Earwig's was the quote which is properly cited. QPQ has been performed. ALT1 and ALT2 are the best hooks: both are cited inline, ALT1 is verified in the source, ALT2 is accepted AGF from an offline source. The final choice of hook is left to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:02, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
