• Leaning towards ALT4 atm, but maybe there is better. Have followed the article development and GA review, so once a hook is decided. Ceoil (talk) 22:37, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

• Scratch that...ALT4 is very hooky and strong...haunted house & Hamilton bound to attract clicks. Would favour this one. Ceoil (talk) 22:42, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

• So Epicgenius you wanna go with ALT4 for the DYK? The Spirit of Oohoowahoo (talk) 23:50, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

• The Spirit of Oohoowahoo, that sounds fine with me. I was going to think of other hooks, but at the moment I'm stumped. Epicgenius (talk) 23:52, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
• Ceoil You still good with ALT4? Seems like we decided on that. The Spirit of Oohoowahoo (talk) 22:02, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
