@Pbritti: Yeah, this is quite an interesting subject. I really enjoyed researching the topic, even though I had it on my radar more than three years ago. Better late than never, I guess... Epicgenius (talk) 17:28, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Overall: @Epicgenius: Great expansion! I will have to assume good faith on the sources I can't access and proceed. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:05, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: I'm concerned that the source for ALT0 (The New York Times) isn't willing to put the statement in their own voice – do we want to attribute inline as well? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:17, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: Thanks for pointing this out. I've added inline attribution for that statement now. Epicgenius (talk) 00:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
  - @Epicgenius: thanks! What about the hook? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:33, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
    - @Theleekycauldron: I've now proposed ALT0A (actually, I proposed this in my previous comment but forgot to mention it until now). Epicgenius (talk) 01:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
      - I'll just go ahead and promote this nomination, given that ALT0a is very similar to ALT0, and I don't think just adding attribution merits another review. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 20:40, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
