Ken Nightingall
- ... that Ken Nightingall became famous for wearing pink shorts, forty years after he actually did? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
- ALT1:... that Ken Nightingall, an uncredited boom operator, was not mentioned in the citation for his sound team's 1978 Academy Award, but was still invited to Buckingham Palace with the winners? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

- ALT2 ... that about four decades after Ken Nightingall wore pink shorts on the set of Star Wars, he became famous for them?
Sources and hooks check out. New enough (22 May) and long enough. I proposed ALT2 as a slightly cleaner version of the main hook proposal. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:16, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Ed - someone else would need to review alt2 (which I've moved for you), but I think that it ends rather awkwardly and the original phrasing works fine. Kingsif (talk) 00:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote ALT1 because it has a little more meat to it. But why doesn't it mention Star Wars? This should also be added to the article's lead. Yoninah (talk) 21:49, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
