- Reviewed: Louis-Thomas Chabert de Joncaire
5x expanded by Flibirigit (talk) and Connormah (talk). Nominated by Flibirigit (talk) at 00:11, 5 December 2020 (UTC).
Article was expanded 5x in past 7 days; article is long enough and is adequately references with no evidence of plagiarism or content issues; hook is appropriate length and reference is good.--Orygun (talk) 21:20, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Orygun: Since the article has been expanded a lot since the nomination was submitted, I want to propose an additional hook. Thanks for considering. Flibirigit (talk) 00:22, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that journalist Bill Fitsell was reportedly scared of driving since he covered accidents? [3]
- Source and length of ALT1 are good.
Below is expanded version with more info in hook. It uses same source.
ALT2... that journalist Bill Fitsell did not get a driver's license until he was 40 years old because he was afraid of driving due to all the accidents he covered?-
I like ALT2 because it has more detail, but all three of the hooks are good to go.--Orygun (talk)
- Source and length of ALT1 are good.

@Orygun: thank you for the follow up review. Since you are not able to approve a hook you proposed, another opinion is needed. I feel the word "reportedly" is essential in any hook mentioning Fitsell's driving since it is based on the recollection of his daughter, and not based on fact confirmed by independent sources. I prefer shorter hooks with less information, and other hook suggestions are always welcome. Flibirigit (talk) 00:11, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
