Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- The hook is is interesting but confusing without context of what Indigo Swing is
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Propose the hook has more context. Eg. ... that Indigo Swing played high energy music? (My first time doing a review by the way). Please adjust or propose an alternative. Pakoire (talk) 04:34, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Pakoire: Thanks very much for doing the review. I tend to favor mysterious hooks as a way of luring the main page reader into clicking through to the article. But other reviewers, not just you, have thought that I sometimes go overboard on this. So here are some alternatives:
- ALT1: ... that Indigo Swing played high energy music? [your suggestion]
- ALT2: ... that Indigo Swing played the music denoted by its name with high energy?
- ALT3: ... that Indigo Swing had its genre in its name?
- ALT4: ... that Indigo Swing had the musical genre it played in its name?
- See what you think of these. Wasted Time R (talk) 15:25, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Wasted Time R: Yes mysterious can be a good hook. You could use ALT3 for this purpose. Or use ALT1. I am not sure which would generate more views, I favour hooks that to get viewers who might read the whole article and perhaps look at some of the links too. I think the other Alt's are not so strong. Maybe Alt 3 could be Alt3.1 ... that Indigo Swing had their genre in their name? As a version which is more humanised? Pakoire (talk) 20:45, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- I may have goofed the grammar, same with ALT4. So:
- ALT3a: ... that Indigo Swing had their genre in their name?
- ALT4a: ... that Indigo Swing had the musical genre they played in their name?
- Any of these are okay with me. And at the end of the day, it's the DYK promoter who will decide which hook to use. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:47, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- As a new reviewer I have reached out to a contact to clarify two points for me in my process - how to 'sign it off', and if your QPQ is completed enough to count? Also my favoured hook is my adaption of your first hook - but then I am not sure if I can approve it because I participated in creating it? Do we need to request a second reviewer? My contact hasn't got back to me yet. Sorry for the delay. Pakoire (talk) 07:51, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- I may have goofed the grammar, same with ALT4. So:
- @Pakoire: This may have been lost track of. The QPQ review was completed a while ago and has been promoted. As for your other concern, my view is that if the promoter doesn't think ALT1 is usable because you suggested it, they can pick one of the other hooks. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:21, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

- @Pakoire and Waster Time R: We can maybe repackage one of the earlier hooks? ALT5: ... that Indigo Swing was described as "one of the name bands" of its genre? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 03:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry, Wasted Time R theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 03:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- ALT5 sounds good to me. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:37, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
