- ALT1:... that Mick Jagger is the lead singer for The Rolling Stones? Okay... you probably did. Source: [2]

QPQ: Black-backed forktail

Improved to Good Article status by TheSandDoctor (talk). Self-nominated at 03:11, 12 September 2017 (UTC).

TheSandDoctor, making an edit to ALT1, which, for the joke to work, has too much in it; besides, how many people know the exact year that the Stones were formed? I didn't. Adding that part as an ALT2. In general, though, isn't there something juicier/more interesting from Jagger's life? That he thought about becoming a journalist, that he dropped out of LSE (and then dropped LSD), that he has 8 kids... How about that the Hells Angels tried to kill him?

ALT2: ... that Mick Jagger has been the lead singer for The Rolling Stones since their formation in 1962? Source: [3]--Usernameunique (talk) 21:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
ALT3: ... that the Hells Angels once tried to murder Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger?Source: [4]

Thanks Usernameunique, a user transcluded this in good faith (which I thank them for) when, due to real life circumstances, I did not have time to finish the nomination, I have not added all of the hooks that I have intended to add.

ALT4: ... that the Hells Angels once plotted to murder Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, but the plot was foiled by bad weather conditions? Source: [5]
ALT5: ... that Mick Jagger received his knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2002? Source: [6]
ALT6: ... that Mick Jagger has been nominated 17 times for Grammy awards, winning 2 of them? Source: [7][8]
ALT7: ... that Mick Jagger has was 2 Grammy awards, and been nominated 15 other times? Source: [9][10]

No problem TheSandDoctor. Adding ALT8 as a variant of ALT4—I like the image of a bunch of leather-clad bikers swimming.

You are right, come to think of it. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 23:02, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

What do you think of the hooks now Usernameunique? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 17:15, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

TheSandDoctor GA, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios. Striking some hooks which I find less interesting. Issues:

QPQ needed.
I can't approve my own hooks. I've struck two of them, but do like ALT8. Will need someone else to approve that one.
Are the Grammy mentions in the article? Not my favorite hooks regardless, but I don't see them mentioned.
Not a DYK issue, but two of the Hells Angels sources are the same—I think you accidentally used the same link twice. --Usernameunique (talk) 15:37, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Thanks, will do QPQ asap. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 17:40, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Struck all but ALT4 and ALT8. Once TheSandDoctor does a QPQ we're ready to go. Morganfitzp (talk) 13:29, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

@Morganfitzp:@Usernameunique: QPQ is now done (see above). --TheSandDoctor (talk) 16:51, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Per Usernameunique's and Morganfitzp's review, everything is fine. ALT8 seems great! QPQ done. Adityavagarwal (talk) 17:17, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
