A fact from Matt Stoller appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 March 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Matt Stoller believes that "nearly any other cause or political relationship should be sacrificed" to break up monopolies?

... that Matt Stoller believes that breaking up monopolies is “so central and so urgent that nearly any other cause or political relationship should be sacrificed in service of it”? Source: “ For many who knew Stoller or were familiar with his work, his boosting of Hawley was perhaps not surprising. Stoller is known for his dogmatic belief that taking on corporate power by breaking up companies that have gotten too big is the goal — so central and so urgent that nearly any other cause or political relationship should be sacrificed in service of it. His defense of Hawley, who had just a few years earlier become the first state attorney general to sue Google on antitrust grounds, was just the latest example.” Politico
Overall: Freshly moved to mainspace, solid neutral content, properly sourced without copyvio. Hook is cited. The hook is OK, a little dry but on the problem of monopolies is discussed a lot, so that view may intrigue people enough to go read the article. I do not see strong material for another hook, but if anyone else can propose a catchier Alt, go for it! SeoR (talk) 21:26, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your review! Later today I am going to add a bit more to the article that I’ll use to make a more interesting hook. Thriley (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again, and reviewed last night, tried on a few people, ALT1 is good to go too. For myself and some test readers, the first hook worked better, but this one has some potential too - readers might be intrigued to read about a whole school of antitrust thought; on the other hand, some might find it a bit academic. The first hook, while still dry, is more general - many readers might be hooked by the idea that new monopolies are "central and urgent" to tackle. Either will do.
