• ... that the memoir Home Before Morning, which details the author's time as a Vietnam War nurse, was adapted into a 1988 television series?

• Reviewed: Earth system interactions across mountain belts

Moved to mainspace by HHINDS (talk). Nominated by SL93 (talk) at 03:05, 8 December 2020 (UTC).

• Drive-by comment: This is not the most interesting hook fact. I suggest you forget about the TV series and say something else. Yoninah (talk) 22:51, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... that it was planned for the memoir Home Before Morning to be adapted into a feature film until critics became vocal about how nurses in wars were portrayed within the book?
• ALT2: ... that the memoir Home Before Morning, which details the author's time as a Vietnam War nurse, was dedicated to "all of the unknown women who served forgotten in their wars"? SL93 (talk) 23:06, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you for the alts. Here is a review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. ALT1 has an offline hook ref that is AGF and cited inline. I would suggest streamlining the wording this way:
• ALT1a: ... that the 1983 memoir Home Before Morning was going to be adapted into a feature film until critics became vocal about how it portrayed nurses in wartime?
• ALT2 reads very nicely, though I would suggest adding the year:
• ALT2a: ... that the 1983 memoir Home Before Morning, which details the author's time as a Vietnam War nurse, is dedicated to "all of the unknown women who served forgotten in their wars"?
• ALT2 hook ref is verified and cited inline. QPQ done.
• Please let me know what you think of the alts. Yoninah (talk) 23:36, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

• Yoninah Both alts are fine with me. SL93 (talk) 23:37, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. My preference is for ALT2a. Striking unused hooks. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:40, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
