  • Symbol question.svg Template:Ping New, long enough, neutral, cited, no copyvio detected, both hooks are interesting and less than 200, QPQ done. Thanks for creating it and DYK. The first hook gives impression that fishes from pond were stored in refrigerator for some later purpose but I understand from the reference that they were not stored for some later purpose but captured by locals for consumption. That hook is interesting but misleading IMO. From article: Template:Tq gives impression that they were stored by officials for some use. I suggest to use "ended up" instead of "stored". What do you say? Regards,-Nizil (talk) 06:10, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Re Thanks for the review. However, they were not captured for consumption, but were actually temporarily stored in the fridges until the pond could be cleaned, then put back in the pond. epicgenius (talk) 13:46, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Re Actually looking at the source again, I guess we can go with your hook. I misread the source. epicgenius (talk) 15:12, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Re, can you propose reworded ALT0 hook? Please do corrections in article accordingly as well. -Nizil (talk) 04:58, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Re I already fixed the article. How about this:
    • ALT2 ... that during a renovation of New York City's Bowne Park (pictured), some fish from its pond were stored in refrigerators of nearby homes? epicgenius (talk) 14:07, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping, Well ALT2 is not different from ALT0 (original hook). I would suggest ended up instead of stored because above mentioned issue. -Nizil (talk) 07:30, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
You have changed "stored" with "moved to" in the article which also not true. They were not stored/moved to refrigerator of nearby homes but they "ended up" (captured by people living nearby for consumption) in refrigerators of nearby homes. Stored/moved makes impression that they were legally stored/moved for later reintroduction in the lake. The reference clearly tells that people did that because of high meat prices. From ref: Template:Tq Current text is misleading IMO. -Nizil (talk) 07:38, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Template:Re OK. Why not going with this:
  • ALT3 ... that during a renovation of New York City's Bowne Park (pictured), some fish from its pond ended up in refrigerators of nearby homes?
If not, I suggest just approving ALT1 because I don't really want to fix the text yet again. I really don't see the problem in "moved"/"stored to", as this is a minor nuance. epicgenius (talk) 12:55, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
