- ... that footballer Neil Alexander came on as a substitute for Queen of the South against his own team Rangers, during a pre-season friendly in 2010, after their goalkeeper suffered an injury? Source: QotS website SPFL

- Template:Reply to I've fixed the sourcing issue now so should be ok. Kosack (talk) 12:52, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
- Template:Ping I think that the hook has too much information to be effectively hooky. You are hinting at an interesting question – why would a player come on as a substitute for the opposite team? – and that would be a reason to click the link and read the article. Then, however, you give the answer – that it was a friendly and their goalkeeper was injured. I suggest a hook like:
- (ALT1) ... that in 2010, footballer Neil Alexander came on as a substitute for Queen of the South against his own team, the Rangers?

- Template:Reply to Yeah I agree with your point. I was unsure whether to include the last part about the injury myself but stuck with it in the end. If you think it's more suitable, I'm happy to go with the alt. Kosack (talk) 06:56, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Template:Ping what's your view on the hook?
Template:Ping thanks for your response. I can't give a tick approving ALT1 as I am the one who suggested it. IndianBio can approve it, or could approve both and leave the choice to the promoter, or raise an objection. At this point, it's his call. EdChem (talk) 07:05, 7 December 2016 (UTC)- Template:Ping hi I think its much more crisp than the hook originally present so I would say good to go with the ALT. —IB [ Poke ] 07:25, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Template:PingIf you are satisfied that it is preferably and that it is supported by the article, then I suggest ticking it with a note that ALT1 is preferred - if it were me, I'd say something like "{{subst:DYKtick}} ALT1 supported by same refs as AlT0, ALT1 preferred, ready for promotion." Others would go with something as short as "ALT1 GTG." I know it is silly but the tick is needed both to satisfy formality and to ensure it's in the lists promoters look at when building hooks. :) EdChem (talk) 07:40, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- Haha thanks a lot for guiding me Template:Ping and as discussed I would say that
ALT1 is GTG to be promoted. —IB [ Poke ] 08:18, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
