WOOK-TV

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Made two days ago. Long enough at 10KB. Free of copyvios. Core content policies satisfied. I see the QPQ. Neutral to original hook and by extension ALT1, but I'd rather discourage ALT2 due to being a first, which is cliched. If the first hook is picked, I suggest "African American" be linked since non-Americans are less likely to be familiar with the term. ミラP 00:22, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Template:Re Because I need to get around to writing its article. Given the number of DYKs I have in the pipeline, there's still time for me to do that before this likely appears. Raymie (tc) 01:18, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
