@McGhiever and Jonathunder: The source for the hook says "The hall was built on one-fourth acre of land bought from the Davo family for $30. Erick Kotila was chairman of the hall’s construction." But it doesn't exactly say that it was built in 1896, just that the society was founded then. epic genius (talk) 01:30, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

A newspaper source gives 1899 for the date built, but other sources, including the NRHP nomination form and a book citation I added to the article give 1896. Jonathunder (talk) 02:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

My copious thanks to Jonathunder for the recognition. I'm just wondering if maybe a stronger hook could be "... that the Cokato Temperance Hall was the social hub of a Finnish American community even though its members had to pledge to abstain from alcohol?" -McGhiever (talk) 03:33, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

@Jonathunder: Thanks; I will now mark the hook as "cited," even though new, sourced alternatives have also popped up.

@McGhiever: Yes, That would be a stronger hook than the original. However, I've also suggested ALT2.

Please tell me what you two think about the new "alt hooks," and in meantime, I will get to work on reviewing the article for plagiarism. epic genius (talk) 01:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

As per copyvio detector, there does not seem to be any copyright violation of more than 4 words. This nomination is good to go if you agree with either ALT1 or ALT2 within the next day. Otherwise, I will choose ALT1. epic genius (talk) 02:07, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Epicgenius. If possible, I would suggest December 5 as the date to place this on the Main Page, when the society celebrates Pikkujoulu. Jonathunder (talk) 16:24, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
