Hook within acceptable limits, and interesting; Citations in order; Article created in timely fashion, QPQ satisfied. Article is good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:16, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
This hook makes me wonder why we're not writing an article about his father instead. Yoninah (talk) 16:53, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hedden's father was not notable enough for an article. Alexschmidt711 (talk) 11:11, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Right. I should have added to my previous comment that you should write a hook that talks about the subject of your article, not about his father. Yoninah (talk) 13:11, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Good point. Unfortunately, I can't think of any general-interest hooks from this article that focus mainly on Hedden. Alexschmidt711 (talk) 18:02, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Here's an idea:
- ALT1: ... that a good word from his son-in-law's employer gained Edward L. Hedden the position of Collector of the Port of New York? Yoninah (talk) 15:54, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- I like it. Alexschmidt711 (talk) 16:29, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Thank you. Since I wrote the hook, another reviewer needs to approve it. Pinging @Gwillhickers:. Yoninah (talk) 17:04, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Well, I don't find it especially interesting, i.e.he got a job through a reference, but okay, good enough. At least we're not highlighting a 'second person' to the subject of the article. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 17:13, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Gwillhickers: it's hard to find good hooks about city employees, but I thought this was ok. Could you restore the tick? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 17:19, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- Good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 17:42, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
