Collingham Gardens
Plaque honouring Howard Carter, who lived at no 19
- ... that London's Collingham Gardens was home to Howard Carter, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun (plaque pictured)?
- ALT1 ... that when reggae musician Bob Marley was arrested in London for cannabis possession, he told the police he lived in Collingham Gardens rather than his real address of 42 Oakley Street?
- ALT1a ... that when reggae musician Bob Marley was arrested in London for cannabis possession, he falsely told the police he lived in Collingham Gardens?

- Comment: Hook is a bit humdrum - anything more interesting would be appreciated. Thank you, Philafrenzy, the ALTs are better.

Full review to follow, but a spot check checks out. I have a preference for ALT1a for being punchier, I think the mention of Oakley just distracts from the main point. Technically this could be a negative hook, but Marley's dead so BLP doesn't apply here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:50, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
As mentioned in my earlier spot check, the article meets DYK requirements. No close paraphrasing was found and a QPQ has been provided. Since The Times is paywalled, I'm unable to access the source for the Bob Marley hook so I am assuming good faith. I prefer ALT1a as being punchier as I don't think the mention of Oakley Street is necessary to the main hook fact. While the Carter angle is also okay in my opinion (though I may be biased as I'm a bit of a history buff), I think the Marley angle is catchier; nevertheless, the Carter hook is also an option in case the Marley hook is unsuitable for whatever reason. The image is fine but is only suitable for the Carter hook, so the hook can't have the image if Marley's hook is promoted. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:30, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
