Aoba47, that was a silly mistake. I've corrected both hooks. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:21, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the response, and it happens to the best of us. Aoba47 (talk) 16:32, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Passerby comment: the hook article still isn't bolded in the above two hooks, but more generally, I would suggest that those extra wikilinks are distracting from the DYK'd article even if it was bolded. Maybe it's better to just remove the other wikilinks? I would definitely assume many casual readers would click on "Yuna Kim" instead expecting that to be the DYK article. Suggested:
  • I've also shortened these somewhat - I'm of the "short and punchy" school of thought, especially since casual readers may not know what "elements" mean in a figure skating context. SnowFire (talk) 21:04, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, if we're being pedantic, I'm not a huge fan of ALT1 / ALT1b - I presume she did have rivals in the sense that she wasn't just skating alone, but rather in competitions. And her competition probably disagrees! If kept, it'd probably be best as an attributed opinion, like "one journalist wrote that her artistry had no rival." But of course, phrasing it like that shows that this claim isn't really THAT impressive. SnowFire (talk) 21:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the assistance with the bolding, too. I like the first hook, but with this feedback, I'd like to withdraw ALT1b and replace it with this:
@Figureskatingfan: Apologies if this is not the right way to do this, but I like this ALT better. I'd suggest framing it as
Yuna Kim had a major impact on KOREAN figure skating and was instrumental in bringing the Olympics to Pyeongchang in 2018?
Because then it'd make her impact unique to this sport (as opposed to all the other skaters who have had major impact on figure skating - Korean figure skating is as big as it is now BECAUSE of Yuna, as has been mentioned in this article repeatedly).

@Editor120918756:, I disagree with your change to ALT2 because as you well know, Kim's influence went far beyond figure skating in Korea. We could say "...a major impact on the sport of figure skating", but that might be too long and redundant. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:17, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I prefer ALT2 without that modification, Yuna Kim was significantly influential in more than just Korea. toobigtokale (talk) 14:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
toobigtokale, I'm also good with ALT2. It's been a while since any movement on this; would you mind approving, please. Thanks and best, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 20:15, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2 without modification. Restating it for clarity: ALT 2: ... that Yuna Kim had a major impact on figure skating and was instrumental in bringing the Olympics to Pyeongchang in 2018? toobigtokale (talk) 21:32, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
