Librotraficante edit

  • Could a better hook be proposed here? It has potential but the wording seems too abrupt, and smuggling by itself is not really interesting for DYK standards if there's no context. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:22, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
  • that Librotraficante led a caravan from Houston to smuggle books into underground libraries in Arizona? Nikkimaria (talk) 12:51, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
That doesn't sound very clear to a typical reader, to be honest. If you want, I could suggest a rephrased hook here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:09, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Sure. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:55, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
I'm having difficulty right now thinking of an exact wording, but one suggestion I could give would be to focus on how it was formed as a result of that Arizona decision. Or you could build up from the smuggling thing, but also mention how the movement also created "underground libraries". Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:39, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Have added ALT1 above. Calling for new reviewer. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:17, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. I find the original hook quite intriguing and am approving it. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
