@Ergo Sum and Crispulop: After reading our article and the source for the hook, I feel like we need more context so that this is not a single stand alone sentence in our article. We never get to the why - so I am intrigued by the hook, click on the article, and find my self puzzled. Bruxton (talk) 20:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine if someone wants to add context to the article. That doesn't affect its DYK eligibility though. Ergo Sum 20:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. I've moved the sentence to a different paragraph and added several sentences. Hope this helps. Crispulop (talk) 19:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
