Added ALT1 hook. Maile66 (talk) 00:24, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
: I like the first hook involving Stevenson and Father Damien. But it just doesn't sound right saying predict. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 11:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
I've reworded it in Alt2. Is it within the character limit? If we take out "predict", I need to tweak that in the article's lead. Also, Kavebear, I'm fine with any rewording of your own that would make it better for DYK --Maile66 (talk) 11:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Could you merge the first three sections under one header unless you plan to expand them more significantly.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 11:50, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Done. --Maile66 (talk) 12:04, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Good to go, keep up the good work.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
