Spot checks are clear, hook is directly cited (same cite for both the original and alt). Everything is suitably references, no images to check. Good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 13:35, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

- Let's save this for Halloween. I'll see if I can think of a more Halloween-y hook - suggestions welcomed! Prioryman (talk) 13:38, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
ALT2: ... that Tobias Menzies takes on a vampire clan in Underworld: Next Generation?Yoninah (talk) 14:01, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Nice one - that certainly does the trick. I think we're good to go with this one. I've stricken the first two for clarity's sake. Prioryman (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
The line in the article that the hook is based of off is "Tobias Menzies had been cast as Marius, a mysterious new Lycan leader who will go more than toe-to-toe with Beckinsale's Selene and her vampire clan.". That's sourced to a deadline article which supports the part about Menzies being cast as a Lycan leader, but not the rest of the statement. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:43, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Prioryman; The Squirrel Conspiracy: Probably they removed the sentence later, but I've fixed it now. Please restore the tick. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 02:33, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- Captain Assassin! - Removing the text in the article doesn't solve the problem. The problem is that the hook isn't cited. Can you find something that supports the "takes on a vampire clan" statement? If so, please put that in the article and cite it. If not, you're going to need a different hook.

- @The Squirrel Conspiracy: Actually it should be "werewolves" not "vampire" in the hook. Because Lycans are werewolves, and the source confirmed that actor plays their new leader. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 02:56, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- ALT3:
... that Tobias Menzies leads a werewolf pack in Underworld: Next Generation? - ALT4: ... that vampires were caught on camera in Prague?
- ALT5:
... that Kate Beckinsale, Theo James, Lara Pulver, and Charles Dance are all vampires? 
Captain Assassin!: ALT2 won't work with the sources that are available right now. Above are three alts that are cited in the article. I've ordered them from most likely to be accepted to least likely to be accepted, but since I wrote the alts, I can't put back the tick. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:31, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- ALT4 IS THE BEST!!! Thanks, @The Squirrel Conspiracy:. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Quick, get this into the queue for Halloween! Yoninah (talk) 10:28, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
