Overall: Thank you, I enjoyed this article. There is just the small matter of the wording of ALT0. How about something like, "... that it has been suggested that Limanda ferruginea (pictured), the yellowtail flounder, belongs in a new genus Myzopsetta?" Apart from that, I am happy with the content of ALT0a, and I'm happy with ALTs 1, 2 and 3 as they are, although I would suggest that the apparent magic tricks mentioned in ALTs 2 and 3 1 and 2 would attract more hits.

• @Storye book: I think your modified hook is good, so I have added it as hook 0A above. And for clarity, did you mean alts 2 and 3 or 1 and 2? Thanks, eviolite (talk) 11:00, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you, Eviolite. I have struck out the bits that no longer apply. I am happy with the quality and content of all the hooks as they are now. I personally prefer ALTs 1 and 2 because they will attract more hits. (Sorry about my typo above). Good to go. Storye book (talk) 11:21, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
