.~~.. that the former Greeks populated village Adatepe in Turkey, which was about to turn into a ghost town, became a tourist destination after the traditional stone houses were restored?~~ Source: "birlikte yaşadığımız bir Rum köyüdür.", "1924 mübadelesi sonrası Rumların vatanlarına dönmesiyle", "Her yıl 200 bin turisti ağırlayan mimarisi en iyi korunmuş Adatepe köyü, Rum mimarisinin izlerini taşıyan taş evleri", "1980’lerin sonuna doğru köy bir hayalet köy olma yoluna doğru gidiyordu. " , "aslına uygun olarak restore edilip korunan ve Rum mimarisinin izlerini taşıyan taş evleriyle ön plana çıkıyor." (in Turkish) [1]

@CeeGee: This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Concerning the hook, why was the village turning into a ghost town? As I understand it, the Greeks left in 1924 and their houses were then occupied by Turks from Crete, but it is the 1980s by the time the soon-to-be-a-ghost-town village was being settled by rich town dwellers. So you can't just state that it was formerly a Greek-populated village. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:55, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: Thank you very much for your review. The village was about to turn into a ghost town some times later than the immigrated Turks settled in, and many villagers moved out, maybe due to economic reasons. About your concern on "formerly": Yes, it was a mostly Greek-populated village in the past. It is possible that the word "formerly" does no fit the circumstance. Would it be correct when I change it to "once"? Please advise. CeeGee 09:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 ... that the village of Adatepe in Turkey, formerly inhabited by Greeks but becoming depopulated, was revived in the 1980s when the traditional stone houses were restored by people escaping city life? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:48, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: Thanks a lot for the very aptly ALT1 hook. CeeGee 16:56, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Approving ALT1, which is just the original hook rearranged. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:17, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

not sure about the grammar here, CeeGee and Cwmhiraeth. "formerly inhabited by Greeks but becoming depopulated" doesn't sound right to me. I would phrase it as "Adatepe, which was formerly inhabited by Greeks but became depopulated", but I feel it's still a bit clunky and a wordy hook. Would it suffice to omit the "depopulated" bit entirely, as it can be inferred from context—"... that the village of Adatepe in Turkey, formerly inhabited by Greeks, was revived in the 1980s..."? — Bilorv (talk) 01:08, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bilorv: Thank you for your comment. Your hook rewordings are far beyond my understanding due to my limited knowledge of English language. At this point, I'd ask Cwmhiraeth for further discussion. CeeGee 08:32, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This would make it

ALT2 ... that the village of Adatepe in Turkey, formerly inhabited by Greeks, was revived in the 1980s when the traditional stone houses were restored by people seeking to escape city life? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 approved. — Bilorv (talk) 10:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to both of you indeed for your efforts. CeeGee 11:22, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
