  • I've just completed QPQ. I think either hook would be sufficiently interesting - it's rare for an American judge to get an architecture award, or hear a case involving a Yugoslavian basketball team - but I'm open to alternative suggestions if anyone has any.

Comment I'm proposing ALT2 ... that United States district judge Douglas P. Woodlock presided over a dispute between the Boston Celtics and a Yugoslavian basketball team?MusickMann (talk) 23:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Also ALT3 ... that United States district judge Douglas P. Woodlock ordered Guatemalan general Hector Gramajo to pay $47.5 million in damages for human rights abuses? [1] MusickMann (talk) 23:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
I'm OK with ALT3. Maybe we can add "in 1995, ..." Neutralitytalk 14:43, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Approving ALT3 only. Date could optionally be included but it's hardly necessary. buidhe 20:51, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
