  • Symbol delete vote.svg The hook is blatantly promotional, and not neutral. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 13:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your review. What part is non neutral? Please propose an alternative hook with the same meaning but neutral. Thank you --★ Pikks ★ MsG 13:44, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Volunia "is known as the search engine of the future" it is an opinion with prediction and judgmental language. Being a opinionated judgmental prediction, this statement is not a fact and not neutral, and is promotional in tone. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 14:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your opinion. I think that "is the search engine of the future" is non neutral, however "is known as the search engine of the future" is neutral, but I agree with you that it can be understood in a different way. So I would change the hook as follows:
  • Alt1 that Volunia is considered a potential competitor to Google and somebody thinks it will be the search engine of the future?
  • Alt2 that Volunia is considered a potential competitor to Google but it's different than normal search engines?

Which alternative you think is the best? Thanks --★ Pikks ★ MsG 14:31, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I think the alternate hooks suffer from the same problem. Requesting third opinion. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 14:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

From my experience and from what is in the WP:DYK rules I can see that the hook should be ""hooky", that is, short, punchy, catchy, and likely to draw the readers in to wanting to read the article." So I can suggest also a 3 alternative which is supported by the biggest Italian national newspaper:
