QPQ: - (just waiting on your 2nd)
Overall: Definitely a great job on the article (as always, seeing as radio stations are your niche) but the hook doesn't portray anything beyond just a nice fact to know; it didn't seem that interesting to me. The way described in the article with which the Rust chose the name isn't all too extraordinary. I'd try a few different ALT hooks for this one. — That Coptic Guy (talk) 17:52, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@That Coptic Guy: The "1 of 2" note is because I did a double review and have a single article here, so I still have one QPQ credit left from that nom. I don't need to make a second right now. Let me see about some ALTs. The most obvious is this: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

ALT1: ... that North Coast Radio went silent after playing the song "In a Silent Way"?

@Sammi Brie: Oops, sorry for misunderstanding what you meant by your QPQ. ALT1 is much better! Certainly has me wanting to read more and is a clever phrasing. Good to go now! — That Coptic Guy (talk) 22:36, 8 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
