- I actually like the hook, but as far as I can tell it's not directly mentioned in the article. I also checked the source and it doesn't really say that electricity in Turkey in general flows from the east to the west, merely that in that case electricity was unable to "flow westwards".

- Made an ALT1 a bit more precise with a more up to date source Chidgk1 (talk) 14:09, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Any other possible suggestions? ALT1 is not really that interesting of a hook in my opinion. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:24, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

- ALT2... that less than 1% of cars use electricity in Turkey?

- ALT5... that you should keep your phone well charged in Istanbul in case an earthquake cuts the power?
- ALT6... that your home must have earthquake insurance before connecting to electricity in Turkey?Source: "The existence of compulsory earthquake insurance shall be checked ... in the ... electricity ... transactions" https://dask.gov.tr/en/law
- ALT7... that fridges use the most household electricity in Turkey?
- ALT8... that some electricity in Turkey is made in four different ways by a virtual power plant?
If you can let me know which are interesting I will cite them.Chidgk1 (talk) 09:23, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
- I think the best option is ALT6; however, all the hooks and the article itself may need some copyediting. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
Cited ALT6 and requested copyedit. Chidgk1 (talk) 05:49, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5 Article has been copyedited - thanks JML1148 - as a copyeditor can you improve on ALT6 or suggest a great hook? Chidgk1 (talk) 16:36, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- Chidgk1 For ALT6, I would say ALT6a: ... that homes must have earthquake insurance before connecting to electricity in Turkey? JML1148 (talk) 07:58, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh yes better thanks - Narutolovehinata5 - do you approve this DYK now? Chidgk1 (talk) 15:56, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- At the moment I don't think I can continue the review myself so I'll ask a new reviewer to take over. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

- Recently promoted GA (at time of nomination). The article does not have any issues. A reading of the linked legislation to 6a (English translation) suggests that all dwellings on private property (and some other buildings) must have the earthquake insurance and that water and electricity companies are required to check for the compulsory earthquake insurance when conducting transactions (the "sub&ion" in the English translation appears to be going for the word "subscription", so referring to new service, cross-referencing the Turkish version of this law on their site). ALT6a is approved. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:16, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
@Chidgk1 and Sammi Brie: I was going to promote this, but I am concerned about the hook. The article says, "After purchasing a property in an urban area, earthquake insurance is compulsory before electricity is connected." but the hook implies that all homes need the insurance. A proposed hook is below:
- ALT6b: ... that homes in urban areas must have earthquake insurance before connecting to electricity in Turkey?
