  • ALT1 ... that the writers of The Exonerated, an Off-Broadway play about wrongfully-convicted inmates, researched the subject by interviewing 40 inmates on death row? Yoninah (talk) 21:57, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Full review needed. Yoninah (talk) 05:25, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
  • This looks good to me. Article was created on date of submission, article is over 1500 characters, and everything appears to be within policy. QPQ is satisfied, and there are no copyright issues. Both suggested hooks are under 200 characters, and both are fairly interesting. However, I have a strong preference for the original hook, because the source supporting ALT1 appears to be a press release. Press releases are generally considered self-published material, which implicates potential issues with reliability and verifiability. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 14:56, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
