- Comment: thought hook sounded weird enough to make a reader curious....
5x expanded by Casliber (talk). Self nominated at 00:14, 31 January 2014 (UTC).
Orion is my favorite constellation (easiest to find in the night sky), so this hook drew me in. Unfortunately, the expansion is not 5x. Before expansion began the character count was 394, and now it stands at 1895. You need another 75 characters to make the grade. Yoninah (talk) 00:02, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Aaww, I was going on word count.
Hang on - will find somethingnow 2141 characters...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:38, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Offline hook ref AGF; hook cited inline. QPQ done. My only question is whether the offline source really says "right boot". My understanding is that this is Orion's "right foot", and other Wikipedia articles on the constellation also use the word "foot", not "boot". Yoninah (talk) 13:30, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
