Other potential hooks, that I find less interesting but might be preferred

- Reviewed: V.M.M. Nair
- Comment: It might have hit the expansion deadline yesterday, I'm not sure if DYK uses UTC. Feel free to just review the hooks you find most interesting. Various relevant images throughout the article. Note that ALT13 world record fact has appeared in ITN (not the article, but the record as news). Note that there is an approved DYK hook already mentioning Rojas' relationship with her sister, which might be too related to ALT14 (and alternative could only mention Limardo).
5x expanded by Kingsif (talk). Self-nominated at 23:19, 16 August 2021 (UTC).
- Comment only: 22 Alt hooks? Do you think a reviewer is going to check all of them for citations etc? I suggest you choose two or three? Victuallers (talk) 16:47, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Article's got a pretty big scope, didn't want to bury the lead/assume what I find most interesting would appeal to everyone, so thought I'd let a reviewer have an opinion, too. I assumed the reviewer would pick the hooks they find most interesting and check those only, maybe I'll add that to the nom comment next time. Kingsif (talk) 11:23, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: It looks like 5x expansion began a little over a week before nomination, but it's close enough. qpq is done, no copyvio either (looks like mostly quotes and false positives on Earwig). The article is long enough and sourced. I'm not going through all 22 hooks (although I'm sure there's other good ones). I verified the following hooks as cited and interesting: ALT0, ALT2, ALT4, ALT5, ALT6 and ALT7. @Kingsif: Amazing work on this page and this nom! I can't wait to see which hook hits the front page.
