GA Status confirmed. Long enough. Excluding the mirror site, it passes earwig. The hook is clunky and should be reworded. --evrik ^(talk) 00:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Evrik: Perhaps a better hook, eliminating the last part:

Alt1 ... that the 2021 Tennessee floods on August 21 were caused by over 20 inches (510 mm) of rain in less than 12 hours?

- @United States Man: How about:

Alt1a ... that the Tennessee floods on August 21, 2021, were caused by over 20 inches (510 mm) of rain in less than 12 hours?

~~Perfect! United States Man (talk) 12:05, 8 May 2022 (UTC)~~

~~Note to promoter: Final hook was proposed by the reviewer.~~ --evrik ^(talk) 18:01, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

What specifically is wrong about Alt1, which I proposed. You just rearranged the date and it sounds like you are taking credit for it? United States Man (talk) 00:54, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Credit? Hardly. Since you seem to have a problem with Alt1a, I will move this back to pending status. I didn't like the way the dates were formatted in the hooks that you provided, it sounded clumsy to me. I'm going to ask that someone else look at the hooks. --evrik ^(talk) 17:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Alt2 ... that the August 2021 Tennessee floods were caused by over 20 inches (510 mm) of rain in less than 12 hours?
