ALT5: ... that residents of the Belnord in New York City had to sneak in refrigerators at night because the building's owner would not let them replace their appliances? Source: Harris 2013
First hook is fine per the source, but in the article body compared the dispute to the siege of Beirut, "where one or both parties are shooting at us" to me implies that the speaker felt that parties were shooting at him and his department. However, looking at the first part of is quote ("I'm not going to get myself into a West Beirut situation, where one..), it seems he wanted to avoid that.
ALT4 & ALT5 - I'm not seeing support for the hook in the archived version of the source. What's the relevant text from the source used for these? (accused others of infractions from illegal subletting to ripping out fixtures to installing appliances was the closest that I saw there.
@BennyOnTheLoose: Thanks for the review. For ALT4 and ALT5, I accidentally provided the wrong source, which has now been fixed. I've also rephrased the article so that the "siege of Beirut" quip is clearer. I will do a QPQ soon. Epicgenius (talk) 16:51, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for expanding the article! I do think there's a possible opportunity for a quirky hook based on Only Murders in the Building, given that "the Building" is The Belnord, but I'm struggling to come up with something right now. Legoktm (talk) 01:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
@Legoktm: My pleasure. And if you have any hook ideas related to Only Murders in the Building, feel free to add them. The six hooks I proposed above were just the things that jumped out at me. Epicgenius (talk) 17:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
@BennyOnTheLoose: Sorry for the long wait. I have done a QPQ now, but I'd like to keep this open for a few more days in case Legoktm would like to propose a quirky hook for Only Murders in the Building. Epicgenius (talk) 14:05, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: approving all hooks. No real preference between them from me. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:05, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
