- This nom ticks all the boxes. Article created less than a week ago. Long enough, in-line citations to scientific sources, no copyvio or inappropriate paraphrasing detected. Interesting hook. QPQ has been done. This is good to go. Topshelver (talk) 14:26, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- @RAJIVVASUDEV and Topshelver: Couple things about the hook. First, less water and energy than what? Seems like a bit of a vague comparison. Second, while the fact is certainly neat, I'm not sure it's very hooky – like, it's fairly interesting, but I'm not sure I read that and think "oh, that's enticing, I want to know more". theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:26, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- @theleekycauldron Appreciate your point. Updated ALT1. Kindly see if it works. Thanks RV (talk) 08:13, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- @RV: That works for my first point, it provides good context, but I'm still not sure it's very hooky. I'll say that narratively, a good hook uses the encyclopedic format to tell part of a story – enough to get the reader interested in finishing the story by clicking through. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:22, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- @theleekycauldron: I have made the necessary changes. Please check if they suffice the purpose. Thanks RV (talk) 12:40, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
- @theleekycauldron Hi! Gentle reminder. Thanks RV (talk) 16:03, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry! So swamped. These aren't terrible either, but I still don't see them as sufficiently "hooky". When you write a hook, think to yourself: "when a reader reads this, why do they want to know more?" Cliffhangers, oddballs, and seeming self-contradictions are great ways to get your readers to ask questions about the subject, for example. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 13:25, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
- @theleekycauldron Please check? Thanks RV (talk) 13:17, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
- @RAJIVVASUDEV: now we're cooking! Unfortunately, I think that's a broader claim than the source is willing to make – not every fabric can be dyed with this method, so it can't halve the water output of the industry as a whole. Could the hook be adjusted? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 12:24, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- @theleekycauldron Fixed that. Thanks RV (talk) 17:08, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- Added an ALT6? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help! ALT6 is perfect. RV (talk) 06:22, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

- ALT6'll need review, then :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 06:38, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- @RAJIVVASUDEV: Looks like the statement made in ALT6 now needs to be clearly stated inside the article, with the appropriate citation. (Or am I missing something? If it's there and I'm missing it, please make it clearer somehow.) Cielquiparle (talk) 08:38, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Cielquiparle It is sorted. Thanks RV (talk) 11:39, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ready to go. Strongly recommend using ALT6 hook per discussion above; fact is now also clearly stated and cited in the article. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:45, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
