Overall:
@Rhain: To be honest, these hooks aren't really that interesting. The only one I find remotely interesting is Alt3 but the linking of the real town of lincoln in the hook kind of makes the hook confusing with it suggesting that the real town of lincoln was made by them in six to twelve weeks. Also Earwig reports severe copyright issues. I do think that they might've just copied off wikipedia though but I would like some confirmation. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:18, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Fair enough—I've written some really uninteresting hooks in my time and actually consider these some of the better ones, but to each their own. Here are some alternatives:
- And yes, IMDb has definitely copied from Wikipedia, not the other way around. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:20, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Rhain and Onegreatjoke: Personally, I really like 3 of the original hooks; ALT4 and ALT7 are both pretty good, but I think the original ALT1, ALT2 and ALT3 are much stronger and more interesting. If those are no good, other hooks might perhaps focus on the casting of Nick Offerman due to the unavailability of Con O'Neill on Our Flag Means Death (referenced in the official podcast episode) or that it was important to Mazin and Druckmann to have other middle-aged queer men involved in the production, including Peter Hoar as director (also referenced in the podcast, along with 2 other names I can't remember off-hand)? Either way, amazing work on the article everyone! — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 17:08, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Those hooks can be considered better. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:17, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
