@Epicgenius: many thanks for another remarkable article transformation. For the original hook and ALT1, it feels to me like there should be a slight rewording, e.g. add "conversion project" after" "the sponsors of the Apthorp condominium" as the current phrasing made me think the dispute took place at the time of building. (But I'm open to discussion.) ALT2 - maybe tweak wording to avoid repetition of "in the Apthorp"? Should there be a wikilink to United States House of Representatives at "U.S. representative" in ALT4? Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:56, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

@BennyOnTheLoose: Thanks for the review. Regarding ALT0 through ALT2, these sound like good ideas, so I have changed the hooks accordingly. For ALT4, I think it may be better to link O'Rourke's article, rather than the article about the U.S. House of Representatives - if there are too many links, I'm concerned that these may detract from the rest of the hook. I will do a QPQ shortly. Epicgenius (talk) 19:57, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

@BennyOnTheLoose: Thanks again for reviewing the article and for your patience. I've done a QPQ now. Epicgenius (talk) 14:07, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Epicgenius. All hooks are approved; my preference is for the original hook, and ALT4 is my least favourite, but I'm happy to leave it to the promoting admin to make a selection. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:59, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
