There has to be something more interesting to say about this. "... that some organization was founded by a bunch of people" is not a very interesting hook; "... that some organization was founded by a bunch of people, and some of them also founded another organization you've never heard of" is not much more interesting either. rʨanaɢ (talk) 10:31, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, I kinda agree with you there, its not really popular as such. But when this did happen, it was big news among the Kannadiga community, and quite controversial. Lynch 7 17:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

What was controversial about it? Maybe the hook could highlight that. rʨanaɢ (talk) 18:11, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, AKKA is a big organization, it links to a lot of Kannadigas in every corner of the US. Its top members were accused of mismanagement, and some of the founder members themselves left to form another organization. Lynch 7 14:51, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Any more interesting hooks? Perhaps information on the organization's activities in Canada so we can have a play on Kannada / Canada? Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:27, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I'll look it up and get back to you. Lynch 7 16:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I couldn't find anything better :P . Decline this if you have to then. Thanks, Lynch 7 18:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

I guess it's okay for somewhere in the middle, but I wouldn't expect many clicks. I don't believe in refusing hooks only for interest, although more interest is better. I can't think of anything either. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
