Interesting life on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I prefer ALT2, and don't like ALT1 much because of the abbreviation MLB. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: What about

ALT3: ... that Randall Lane, editor of Forbes magazine, was identified by The New York Times as one of the 922 most powerful people in America?" (source) as a replacement alt for ALT1? I could also just expand ALT1 if desired. I personally prefer (in order) ALT0 and the suggested one here, and ALT2. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 23:33, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the offer, - I say ALT0 and ALT3 like this:

ALT0a: ... that Randall Lane, editor of Forbes magazine, created the Forbes 30 Under 30 list?

ALT3a: ... that Randall Lane was identified by The New York Times as one of the 922 most powerful people in America, as editor of Forbes magazine?"

I approve all but ALT1, but we should strike more, to make life easier for the prep builder. Your turn ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:29, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
