• Just a comment, but why not go overboard like ALT1: ... that Deep Throat was inspired by Deep Throat, which was inspired by Deep Throat, which inspired deep throat? Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:19, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

• Was thinking of going the whole hog but I wasn't sure where to stop. Perhaps "... that Deep Throat was inspired by Deep Throat, but not the deep throat in Deep Throat?" GRAPPLE X 15:11, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

• Of course, referencing that would be a pain. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:33, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

• I would have assumed the absence of support for it not being the film and act would be enough - proving a negative is pretty difficult, after all. GRAPPLE X 15:37, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

• True enough, but I've had a hook (... that Malari was not spread by mosquitoes?) shot down for similar reasons. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:20, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

• There's the original proposal to fall back on if that's the case, though. Fun enough either way. GRAPPLE X 16:05, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

• Review: Hook (original only): Short, hooky (although some of the more prudish readers may complain), and cited. AGF on offline reference.

Article: New and long enough (created from a redirect). Referencing is thorough and formatted. Paraphrasing looks fine.

Original hook is good to go! AGF on offline sources. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:00, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
