  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Deshong Art Museum
  • Comment: I like the original hook for its quirkiness, which I think is accentuated if the image is omitted. If ALT1 is preferred by the reviewer and the closer, the image will be helpful. It's of quite good quality!

Created by Surtsicna (talk). Self-nominated at 17:07, 27 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Phallichthys amates; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Dibs. I think the first hook is much hookier, for sure. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:50, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
• Article is sufficiently long and new. References are appropriate and reliable. No indication of copyvio/close para. I personally think the first hook makes a great no-image quirky hook. Hook is present in the article as two separate facts, each cited. Very nice work! ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
