• Hi, I came by to promote this, and was wondering if you'd like to add some contrast to make this a better lead hook. Like:
• ALT1: ... that Liberty County Jail (pictured) in Hinesville, Georgia, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was once described by the governor as "a rotten, filthy rathole"? Yoninah (talk) 14:33, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

• Yeah, I'd definitely be in favor of that change, think it reads better than the current hook. If there's anything I need to do to change it let me know, but it sounds good to me. JJonahJackalope (talk) 14:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
• I'm also fine with the new hook. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 15:35, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
• Thank you both. @John M Wolfson: could you review it and give it a tick please? Yoninah (talk) 16:32, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
