I know you asked me to come in to suggest a more interesting hook, but I think this is fine - it seems to be one of the most important things in the paper's history. I think a slight alteration in phrasing could convey that he was actually a candidate though, rather than this being totally a hypothetical; maybe ALT1: ... that presidential candidate John B. Anderson wrote in the San Francisco Sentinel that, if elected, he would ban sexual orientation discrimination in the federal government?
- Everything else checks out, good to go. (I would, however, remove the bit about Good Time Harry - the brief background on other papers called the SF Sentinel is fine, but a fictional paper having nothing in common but the name, on a show that aired only five episodes, is unnecessary; the article's more than long enough without it.) –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 08:15, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- Your ALT1 looks good. I will comment out the Good Time Harry bits and consider deletion. Binksternet (talk) 16:53, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
