  • Comment I've unboldened Gigantolithic per your advice and bracketed it. I've removed flint to make it punchier, but added Lebanon. You're right in respect that there is a lot of new information in this hook. It is designed to communicate an important and little known aspect of Neolithic development. Not sure what to do about that but punchier is always good and I am open to suggestions. I guess Gigantolithic could be removed entirely, but it's a word that will make people click.

  • What I was actually suggesting was getting rid of "Heavy Neolithic" and only including Gigantolithic. As for information in the hook, the purpose of the hook really is not to convey information so much as to pique a reader's interest and hopefully get them to visit the article. The current hook seems closer to a definition than a "hooky" fact. rʨanaɢ (talk) 03:07, 28 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
