Time length and hook all check out, GTG. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:04, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- The hook was incorrectly formatted in many different ways. Try:
- ... that Louis Stodder was the USS Monitor's turret officer and the first person injured at the Battle of Hampton Roads, surviving a direct hit to Monitor's gun turret? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:22, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to review. Just want to be clear on something. For purposes of the DYK presentation on the main page I used the full name, Louis Stodder, but the actual sentence (hook) on the ' Stodder page only uses the last name, as the full name is spelled out in the lede. Will this be okay? Again, thanks for your time. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 01:25, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- That's fine. There is no requirement that the hook be a verbatim replica of a statement from the article (in fact, many of the best hooks have different wording from their articles); the key thing is that the factual content of the hook must appear in the article.
