• @ZoyaBoris: A new enough and large enough expansion. QPQ not required. I had no idea he was married to a news anchor here in Phoenix! The article needs some fixes:

It has some bare URLs that need expansion into proper references.

There are promoters who shun hooks that say "X is the first Y" (see WP:DYKFIRST for a related essay), so I want to see a new hook totally. (I've added to ALT0 some formatting and links to demonstrate what hooks should look like. Is there a more interesting hook out there?

Please ping me when you respond. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 22:56, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: How about this for a new hook. "Did you know that Renard Johnson, mayor of El Paso, is the founder of El Perro Grande Tequila, which has been named one of the five best tequilas in the world by Forbes magazine." Also the tequila comes in a cute, dog-shaped bottle and Johnson donates part of the company's revenue each year to the Human Society of El Paso.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ZoyaBoris (talk • contribs) 22:45, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

• @ZoyaBoris: I believe your last ping to User:Sammi Brie did not go through because of a lack of signature. ScalarFactor (talk) 06:37, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

• @ZoyaBoris: What about this? However, the article needs to be edited to include a mention of the bottles. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 05:45, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that the mayor of El Paso, Texas, founded a tequila company that sells its product in dog-shaped bottles?

@ZoyaBoris: Pinging for your thoughts on ALT1. Note that, since Sammi proposed it and it introduces new facts, a new reviewer is needed for ALT1. I can take a look if you're okay with ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:53, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: I agree with the ALT1 and you reviewing it. ZoyaBoris (talk) 22:28, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. ALT1 is cited inline and verified in the source, rest of the review per Sammi. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:58, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: I like the Alt1 version. Article has been edited to provide information on the bottle shaped like a Chihuahua dog. --ZoyaBoris (talk) 17:52, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
