• ... that HD 85512 b is the most habitable extrasolar planet ever discovered with estimated temperatures similar to that of South France?

• Comment: I will not be able to reply to queries for the next three days. Thanks. Suraj T 12:55, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
• Hook Fails The hook does not match with sources, there is only a possibility that the temperature is that of Southern France, nothing has yet been proven.XavierGreen (talk) 02:19, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

• ALT-1 ... that the extrasolar planet HD 85512 b is potentially habitable if it has more than 50% cloud cover?
• ALT-2 ... that the extrasolar planet HD 85512 b is on the edge of habitability?
• ALT-3 ... that the extrasolar planet HD 85512 b is the smallest extrasolar planet to be discovered in the habitable zone?
• ALT-4 ... that HD 85512 b is one of the most habitable extrasolar planets ever discovered, where temperatures could be similar to that of South France?

• I don't like any of the hooks. ALT-1 sounds too complicated, ALT-2 I don't like the phrase edge of habitability since I don't think it conveys the message well. ALT-4 and the original are inaccurate to say that the planet is habitable.

• ALT-5 ... that the extrasolar planet HD 85512 b is one of the best candidates for habitability ever discovered, with temperatures that could be similar to that of Southern France?

I'd be willing to pass ALT-3 or the alt I am offering as I think they convey the right message and are factually true to the source article. Let me know which you prefer, and strikeout the ones you do not. --Odie5533 (talk) 00:38, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

• ALT-5 is catchy and I prefer it to the rest. Thanks. Suraj T 04:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Everything else checks out. I changed South France to Southern France to avoid a redirect. --Odie5533 (talk) 05:41, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

The bit about "southern France" came from http://www.centauri-dreams.org , which appears to be a blog. I'm not sure how reliable this is. I'm moving ALT5 to P2 without this bit. --PFHLai (talk) 10:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
