@Autumnking2012: Sorry that your nomination didn't reach the main page on the date you wanted. You did nominate it in time, but as you can see we have hundreds of unreviewed nominations and not many active reviewers. Next time, please post a note at WT:DYK to alert editors that you'd like a speedy review. Best, Yoninah (talk) 00:22, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

AGF on the Alt1 hook source. New enough, long enough. No QPQ needed. Passes earwig. --evrik ^(talk) 04:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this. A few observations: (1) We usually move the bolded link to the front of the hook. (2) We try not to use names that don't have Wikipedia articles. The hook fact is hooky, though, so perhaps you can shorten this a bit? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:43, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

ALT1a:... that in 1969 Fred Sargeant, Craig Rodwell, Ellen Broidy and Linda Rhodes proposed the first Christopher Street Liberation Day (now the NYC Pride March), to commemorate the Stonewall riots?
ALT1b:... that Fred Sargeant, Craig Rodwell, Ellen Broidy and Linda Rhodes proposed the first Christopher Street Liberation Day (now the NYC Pride March), to commemorate the Stonewall riots?
@Yoninah:, thoughts? --evrik ^(talk) 20:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

@Evrik: thanks for the alts. Personally, I think the hook fact is that the liberation day commemorates the Stonewall riots. It takes time to get past this list of names. We also don't put parentheses in hooks. If you want to keep this hook angle, why not write:
ALT1c: ... that Fred Sargeant was among the gay rights activists who proposed the first Christopher Street Liberation Day—now the NYC Pride March—to commemorate the Stonewall riots?
