The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. A QPQ has been completed. All hooks are reliably sourced. I have no preference for which hook the promoter chooses. However, I think that the article should lets readers know who the stars are without them having to click on the wikilinks, just like the hooks do. SL93 (talk) 19:51, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I hope ALT5 covers your concerns Bogger (talk) 09:25, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to edit the article and not supply a new hook. However, my issue is more of a stylistic preference I guess. ALT0, ALT1, or ALT2 are good to go. The other hooks are over 200 characters long. SL93 (talk) 14:30, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
