  • Well, I can approve this article, whether or not it goes up on its own or in a multi-hook. Personally I think it's better to go with separate hooks, so more attention is drawn to each article. Hook fact is verified in this source[1], though it's written more as a throwaway line in the article. I'd recommend a slight rewrite to the hook:

  • The only way I would go with this as a separate hook is if the others are not approved. I am going for the record.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:01, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Are the multi hooks really that confusing? They don't seem any worse than say the one at Template:Did you know nominations/Ashtabharya et. al.‎ P.S. I just added a new alt4 and a simpleton alt5.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 11:17, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
  • The alt5 there is definitely the most understandable. Because the play titles look like chunks of English text they make the sentences in the hooks tricky to understand. So if you say a lot, the meaning will be lost to the rapid reader. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:40, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
