Person with bagel head

  • ... that bagel head (pictured) is a type of extreme body modification pioneered in Canada that was documented in an episode of National Geographic's Taboo series?
  • ALT1: ... that bagel head (pictured) is a type of extreme body modification? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:38, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT2: ... that there is a type of extreme body modification known as the bagel head (pictured)?
Doesn't seem right to treat it as a proper noun. Good job, everyone! Feather Jonah (talk) 23:57, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
But is there a way to get the term near the beginning of the sentence? Also, it's may be worth tweaking it to get it as short as possible. Short hooks draw the eye. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:46, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Does it solve the problem to just change the beginning of ALT1 to "that the bagel head...?" Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:05, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Ahh yeah, that would do it. Good idea! Feather Jonah (talk) 23:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT3 ... that despite reports to the contrary, bagel head (pictured) is not a Japanese trend? Sasata (talk) 07:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT4: ... that the bagel head (pictured) is a type of extreme body modification? (per comments at ALT1; stills sounds funny; sure it's okay?) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:22, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Article new and long enough, all hooks above verified by with online sources. Image has suitable license. I prefer the short and snappy Alt1, but I've listed another for consideration (listed above as ALT3). Sasata (talk) 07:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
