• Comment: Thank you so much in advance for the reviewer for their time reviewing this article! In terms of some context for the first hook, Inez Cook was a victim of the Sixties Scoop, a policy of forced assimilation which saw Indigenous Canadian children removed from their families and placed into White Canadian households. Cook is Nuxalk, but was removed from her culture. The restaurant's coverage led to Nuxalk community members coming to the restaurant and finding her extended familial ties within the community and beyond.

• Article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination. Full QPQ has been done, and no close paraphrasing was found apart from the cited quotes. All of the hooks are cited inline, but I only focused on the original hook as it is the most interesting option. It and ALT2 (the backup option) are verified in the source. My only concern is that ALT0 doesn't exactly match either the article or the source: the hook says "notoriety", but that wording is not supported and neither the article nor the article suggests that the restaurant is notorious. So ALT0 will need some rewording. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

• Thank you for your time in undergoing this review Narutolovehinata5. I hope you enjoyed reading the article. It is true that the source articles do not explicitly mention notoriety, which can hamper the hook a bit. If you have a suggestion on an alternative wording for ALT0, I would appreciate it. Urwin's article under "Soon after opening, the restaurant was met not only with accolades..." has the whole story. The restaurant was well known enough (thus the notoriety piece) to have individuals from the Nuxalk nation come by and reconnect her, but it is difficult for me to figure out an alternative way to phrase it.

@Ornithoptera: Maybe: ALT0a ... that the opening of Salmon n' Bannock led to the owner reconnecting with her long-lost family?, or even ALT0b ... that the public interest in Salmon n' Bannock after opening led to the owner reconnecting with her long-lost family? Given the introduction of new facts, a different editor would be needed to sign either off. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

ALT0a should check out with me, the alternative wording in ALT0b is a tiny bit too convoluted in my eyes. Ornithoptera (talk) 04:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Cool. I guess we'll need a new reviewer to sign off ALT0a. I was about to say that ALT2 might need tweaking to meet the "unlikely to change criterion" since there's no assurance that it will be all-indigenous forever, but I doubt it will change so I'll let it slide. Once ALT0a is signed off, the final choice will be left to the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
