  • Comment only First hook is not interesting, and second hook is very dull too. Is there nothing better? Edwardx (talk) 21:43, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Edwardx, the training ground next door has been known as the "Space Project Dream Field" for the last two years. Can I get creative with the word play be saying:
ALT2:... that Akigin Stadium (pictured) has sat next to a field of dreams for the last two years?
Or something else along those lines? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:07, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced. As all sources are in Japanese, unable to check for close paraphrasing. Image is freely licensed and appears in article. QPQ done. ALT2 is great! I just don't understand why the hook says the field has sat next to the stadium for the past 2 years, when the field was opened in 2005.

  • Yoninah, I see that the "Facilities" section gave the impression that the field had been called "Space Project Dream Field" since it was built. In fact, that name has only been used since September 2014, as explained in the "Naming rights" section. I have reworded the section to hopefully clarify the situation. Is that sufficient?

  • @Athomeinkobe: Please add an inline cite to the sentence that calls it a "Dream Field". Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:46, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. Foreign-language hook ref AGF (and viewed through Google Translate) and cited inline. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:59, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
  • I just realized that some reader is probably going to point out that it has sat next to the field for 11 years, so why don't we just write:
  • ALT3: ... that Akigin Stadium (pictured) sits next to a field of dreams? Yoninah (talk) 01:04, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
Good idea, thank you. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:54, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
