  • Length, date, qpq, close paraphrase check ok. But is there a possibility for a second reference for the hook fact? The notion that 'certain appendage' is to be understood as a dick requires a bit of reading between the lines, but the ref also talks about this as an one-off incident. --Soman (talk) 11:49, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Hmm okay. I've had a look for another source but couldn't find one. Does this mean that I have to find another fact? I've at least changed the plurality of the hook to address that concern.

But still, we have one source saying that maybe someone once drew a dick using the platform. Unless there is another ref indicating that the trolling of the site would be a phenomenon, I'd suggest that another factoid be used for ALT hook. --Soman (talk) 15:56, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
@Soman: Oh I'm getting confused. I'm not sure if you want me to change the pluralisation, or find a new fact. I'll do both.

Many thanks, apologies for the inconvenience. I'm ok with ALT3. --Soman (talk) 09:37, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
