Everything appears to be good, including the hook source, timing, length, et cetera. That said, let's have one more person look at this before this DYK? nomination gets promoted, since I want to make sure that I didn't forget anything. Futurist110 (talk) 01:10, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
What does "allegedly performed scam" mean? Hook needs to be reworded. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:45, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've re-worded the hook and it is of 196 words now (phew...). The meaning remains the same. Cheers! TheSpecialUser TSU 15:11, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
- Restoring approval, but of the grammatically improved version given as ALT1 rather than the revised original hook, which still needed smoothing. This is no more of a change than I would make if I were promoting it. Now 189 characters by DYK rules. (Promoting editors are welcome to disagree, as is TheSpecialUser.)
