- Both hooks interesting, but the first one is a bit confusing, I had to read it twice, wondering if we can tweak that. —valereee (talk) 12:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Jackson hook is cited, the other has a source sentence The strike was later the subject of a 2020 stage play written by Philip Dawkins for the Children's Theatre Company called Spamtown, USA, which focused on the children of several Hormel workers on different sides of the strike. that needs a citation. —valereee (talk) 12:56, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, as far as the first hook is concerned, I see that I really could have made it clearer. How about this:
ALT0a* ... that Jesse Jackson compared the 1985–86 Hormel strike and its importance to collective bargaining to the impact the Selma to Montgomery marches had on voting rights?
- But also, I think I'd probably prefer to use ALT1 as the hook, though with "had" replaced by "has", such that:
- ALT1a:... that the 1985–86 Hormel strike has been the subject of both an Academy Award-winning film and a stage play by the Children's Theatre Company?

- JJonahJackalope, can you add those citations to the sentence (DYK needs it at the support sentence.) I tried, but I don't understand that style of referencing. Ping me when you reply, I'd forgotten all about this. —valereee (talk) 13:22, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Valereee, there you go, think that would work, and if not let me know! -JJonahJackalope (talk) 15:15, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- JJonahJackalope, I'm sorry if I'm being stupid...what I need is for the sentence The strike was later the subject of a 2020 stage play written by Philip Dawkins for the Children's Theatre Company called Spamtown, USA, which focused on the children of several Hormel workers on different sides of the strike, which supports ALT1, to have a citation at the sentence. —valereee (talk) 15:21, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- I've inserted a cn tag where I'm talking about. —valereee (talk) 15:23, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Valereee, sorry about the confusion there, but I went ahead and moved that citation to the sentence in question and added another citation to the subsequent sentence talking about the reviews. Thanks, and if there's anything else please let me know. -JJonahJackalope (talk) 15:35, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
