QPQ still needs doing. Recommend ALT5 as the hook. Grnrchst (talk) 08:25, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Grnrchst: Thanks for the review. I have now done a QPQ. For what it's worth, these hooks are ordered by preference, which means that ALT5 is actually the hook that I thought was least interesting. Ultimately, though, the promoter can choose whichever hook they think is most interesting. Epicgenius (talk) 12:49, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
