- Hi, I came by to promote ALT2, which is super hooky, but upon reading the article I realize it is more of an April Fools hook. Do you want to nominate it for then, or would you like to tweak it so it is more in style with our everyday hooks? Yoninah (talk) 19:53, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah, thanks for the query. I don't think ALT2 is quite hooky enough as an April Fool's hook (which wasn't my intention at all). How about this?
- ALT3:... that during the construction of the Potter Building (pictured), the developer burned down two structures to test fireproofing methods? epicgenius (talk) 20:07, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
