  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Image in article is fair use. QPQ done. My only reservation about passing this hook is that "touchstone" is an unusual word and is straight from the source. I put it in quotes in the article, but do you want to put it in quotes in the hook? Perhaps you can offer a different word? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:32, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Sorry for the late response. I cant think of any better words, maybe archetypes or paradigms. I'm open to other suggestions or using quotation marks if you prefer.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:05, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
  • @TriiipleThreat: maybe just add a little more description instead of the word "touchstone". Here is an example:
  • ALT1: ... that comic book writer Cullen Bunn included well-known science fiction series like Star Trek and Firefly in his pitch for Asgardians of the Galaxy? Yoninah (talk) 18:49, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I’m fine with ALT1.—TriiipleThreat (talk) 01:49, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
  • @TriiipleThreat: I'm just wondering if Firefly can be said to be "well-known"? Would another adjective work for both series, like "popular" or "space-age" or what? Yoninah (talk) 19:34, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: In that case how about ALT2: ... that comic book writer Cullen Bunn included science fiction series like Star Trek and Firefly in his pitch for Asgardians of the Galaxy?--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:28, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
@TriiipleThreat: actually, I think we need to convey the idea of "touchstone", which is defined as "An excellent quality or example that is used to test the excellence or genuineness of others". How about successful science fiction series like? Yoninah (talk) 19:37, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I'm fine with that. I just thought that might be as subjective as "well-known". Another option could be to link the definition like "... that comic book writer Cullen Bunn included touchstones like Star Trek and Firefly in his pitch for Asgardians of the Galaxy?" But I'm happy with "successful" if you are.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:56, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
@TriiipleThreat: you know what? Let's just go back to the original and put "touchstones" in quotes. I was trying to avoid the close paraphrasing, but have had a very difficult time of it. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:05, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
