We don't usually include titles unless they're somehow immediately relevant to the hook.

  • ALT1 ... that Mukund Varadarajan was the fourth person from the state of Tamil Nadu to receive Ashok Chakra, India's highest peacetime gallantry award?

Beyond that... the fourth. Wow! The fourth! That's interesting! How about something about what he got it for? EEng (talk) 03:37, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

I agree with EEng. Nothing that's not first is not worth the hook. Also, 4th from a particular state is really trivial when the award doesn't actually have to do anything with the state origins of the recipient. Hence proposing alt2. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:07, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
"Nothing that's not first is not worth the hook" -- um... what? EEng (talk) 23:18, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Full review needed (not just for the remaining hooks). BlueMoonset (talk) 14:25, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
  • New at the time of nomination, long enough, neutral and no apparent copyvio problems found. Done some copyediting. Hooks fact checks out. QPQ is also done. Good to go with ALT2a. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 09:53, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
