... that Creekfinding was written after its author read an article about the epidemiologist Michael Osterholm and his efforts to restore a creek that had been diverted decades earlier? Source: "Martin said she learned of his efforts when reading a Gazette article back in 2011 and knew right away that she wanted to tell the story." [1] "He found USDA aerial photos of the land prior to 1949, when spring water was diverted to a ditch along the road so the farmer could plant corn." [2]
@DanCherek and Dr Salvus: The hook is a little convoluted and I think it can be phrased more effectively. Suggesting some alts below:
ALT1: ... that Creekfinding was inspired by epidemiologist Michael Osterholm's efforts to restore a creek that had been diverted decades earlier?

That's a great improvement, thanks. (I think that while writing the original, I was trying a little too hard to avoid the "X book is about Y" kind of hook, but I think your proposed one avoids that issue.) DanCherek (talk) 19:46, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
I'm going to boldly readd the tick, since ALT1 is just a trimmed version of ALT0. Z1720 (talk) 19:49, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
