  • This is only a comment but given that most readers would probably be unfamiliar with the article subject it might be a good idea to propose additional hooks or to mention that the subject is the premiere awards for French-language Canadian media.

  • Added two new ALTs Z1720 (talk) 18:05, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
Both of those have rather limited appeals; ALT1 may not make sense to those unfamiliar with the Gemini Awards while ALT2 sounds rather niche. Maybe some other suggestions could be given here? Maybe even a hook stating that it's the most prestigious awards for French-language Canadian media or something to that effect? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:30, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
I added ALT3 and ALT4 above to propose an explanation of the awards. I don't want to say they are the most prestigious award because I can't find a reference to back it up, although I will keep looking. Z1720 (talk) 02:59, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Z1720, is there any update on this? VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 12:07, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
I added one additional source today but nothing that could build a new ALT. I think ALT 3 or 4 explains what the awards are the best.Z1720 (talk) 13:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
These were comments. A reviewer is needed. VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 07:36, 27 August 2020 (UTC)


Comment: All the hooks are really boring. The article mentions something about the award categories being renamed as a result of studio boycotts. Seems like a much more interesting topic for a hook.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 19:12, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

ALT6: ... that three Prix Gémeaux categories for best drama were created after a boycott by Quebec production studios? Source: Fabienne Larouche souhaitait voir son émission 30 vies inscrite dans la catégorie des séries et non des téléromans. Cette catégorie a disparu, pour laisser place aux catégories de la meilleure série dramatique annuelle (2 à 13 épisodes), saisonnière (14 à 26 épisodes) et quotidienne. Z1720 (talk) 22:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
I figured there would be issues with the translation since I was using Google Translate. But yeah, ALT6 is way better.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 22:56, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
