  • New enough, long enough, neutral, AGF on offline sources. Hook is short enough. I cannot see the cited source for the hook, but this source confirms it. QPQ done. GTG. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:13, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
You do prefer ALT1, right? How can we pass up a vicar getting shot in the twitten? EEng (talk) 20:54, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Not really. It seems a likely place to be shot, and it sort of rhymes, but the only source I found online did not mention any twitten. DYK is a serious showplace for our best new work and no place for such frivolous hooks. Unless there is an online source. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:07, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
There may be a language issue here. Not one American in 1000 would have any idea what a twitten is, making it sound (at American ears) kind of naughty. I assume you're kidding about DYK being a serious showplace and so on. but I defer to your choice of hooks. EEng (talk) 00:22, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
I seem to remember when DYK was more fun and took more risks. "Safe and sound" is the motto of a website in terminal decline. But that is the way it is, so it is easier to go with the duller but indisputable hook. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:19, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
