I like this very much, the article expansion checks out, the QPQ checks out, the hooks are both interesting, and I prefer the first. However, the source describes changing "a light bulb" rather than "the lights" so if we could just tighten that up a bit, I think this is good to go. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus!

@The Rambling Man: [1] mentions "light bulbs" and I've made that sentence a double reference. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:20, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think for the purpose of accuracy the hook should say "light bulbs" not "lights" as, where I come from, lights are the things which contain light bulbs. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:21, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
