Susquehecka Creek
[edit]- ... that in 1965 a USGS employee found everyone he met in Freeburg, Pennsylvania, knew a nearby stream as "Susquehecka Creek", but only two knew how to spell it?

- Grammar edit. Gimme a sec. — LlywelynII 05:02, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- Well, ok, the present hook is wrong, but there's sourcing on a similar one. Fix'd. — LlywelynII 05:06, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
New enough at time of submission; long enough (~3900 elig. char.); neutral and seemingly non-controversial; sourced; Earwig finds low probability of copyvio. Present hook clocks in at 161 char.; moderately interesting and now factually and grammatically accurate; no BIO issues. Sourced; verified; and, while page doesn't mention it, source notes that the "everyone" was 24 people, not just the three or four listed in the article. G2G. — LlywelynII 05:15, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- Note: For the promoter: be aware that this form of the hook is approved, but some well-meaning but utterly mistaken editors are mangling it without discussion. Kindly be sure that the accurate hook is the one being used for the front page. Cf. MOS:COMMA. — LlywelynII 05:57, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
