A fact from Ruth Huenemann appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 October 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Definitely an interesting take on the subject! Looking at the article it definitely passes the requirements for DYK, and I look forward to seeing it up. --Sky Harbor(talk)07:54, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
BruxtonSky Harbor I don't see how the hook is interesting. She was a health official that studied childhood obesity. I have never heard of anything that would make a slim person studying obese people odd. If we're working with opposites, the hook could also say that she wasn't an obese child since it was childhood obesity that she specifically researched. That hook would work just as bad as the current one. SL93 (talk) 00:38, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm also a little reticent to promote this hook – if only because obesity tends to come with an increase in height, and this hook suggests the opposite. Wouldn't want to give off the wrong image. And SL93 isn't wrong in his analysis, either. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 23:31, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How about:
ALT1: ... that Ruth Huenemann, who spent much of her career studying obesity, was anything but?
I have to agree – the wording is catchy, but I don't think the hook raises a question that needs to be addressed by clicking through. I don't see much else in the article, either. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 19:53, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2: ...that Ruth Huenemann studied the causes of childhood obesity by researching the eating habits, activity and body type of children over a long period of time?
on a list of absolutely terrible hooks that should not be used, the grim pun of her foreseeing a "growing problem" (ibid.) has gotta be up there. But ALT3 is cited and reasonably interesting :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:51, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0 and ALT1 appear to not be viable – could Bruxton propose another hook? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 16:59, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
