• Interesting hook, willing to accept the foreign-language sources in good faith. I would suggest modifying the hook slightly to use this :

• ALT2 ... that Turkish female microbiologist and AIDS activist Melahat Okuyan had once proposed the establishment of male brothels for homosexuals and cross-dressers in order to protect public health?

• What do you think? Jon Kolbert (talk) 15:29, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you for your review and acceptance. No objection at all to ALT2. It seems that the original hook was not in correct English. Sorry. CeeGee 17:59, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

• @CeeGee: No problem. One last thing I would change is to use the word "improve" instead of "protect". Jon Kolbert (talk) 19:39, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

• I agree. Please reword the hook if necessary. Thanks again. CeeGee 04:42, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
