• Article is new enough, long enough, it has adequate references with no evidence of plagiarism; both hooks are appropriate length and references are good. QPQ is done.--Orygun (talk) 06:00, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

• In light of the veto, I'm here to propose an ALT2 hook to replace ALT0: ... that Washington governor Jay Inslee vetoed a bill exempting state legislators from the state's Public Records Act, which passed both chambers in less than 48 hours?

• Thoughts, Orygun? SounderBruce 22:53, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

• Agree, ALT1 would be better.--Orygun (talk) 01:42, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

• @Orygun: Did you mean ALT1 or ALT2? SounderBruce 01:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

• I think both are good hooks. ALT2 tells a more complete DYK story with more fact points while ALT1 leaves reader hanging so it may prompt more people to follow-up. Either one is fine with me…so I’ll leave choice to you.--Orygun (talk) 18:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
