... that the Enterprise wrote about an unknown African American newspaper in Lincoln, Nebraska, three years before the earliest documented one was created?- ALT1:
... that the Enterprise supported the Spanish–American War, even though it predicted that American intervention would result in a color line? - ALT2:
... that the Enterprise, a black newspaper, supported a separate African American department at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition? - Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/California Assembly Bill 1084 (2021)
- Comment: more hooks always welcome - especially if there's a way to get an image of Mahammitt on the main page with an interesting hook. my 50th article created, a bit of a milestone

Interesting paper and people, on few but good-looking sources, all offline or subscription, so accepted AGF. Thank you for the milestone! - I like ALT2 best, especially because of the description, - without it, it could play anywhere. I'd probably aven add Omaha. The image is probably not good enough to pursue that way. If have new ideas for hooks, or modification of the ones above, please place below. I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:55, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, Gerda. You're right about the image, of course.
I prefer ALT1A,but let me know if these are good.

- Actually prefer just ALT2/2A - whether the color line statement was the view of the Enterprise or just some of its writers is a bit unclear, looking back, so I will have to look some more. I assume you're OK with adding Omaha to the hook you approved, but just pinging in case I misunderstood, Gerda Arendt. Urve (talk) 03:19, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
