A Colour Box

Created by Hinnk (talk). Self-nominated at 23:41, 30 April 2019 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svgWould the following hook be preferable: ... that Nazis protested a 1936 screening of Len Lye's abstract animation A Colour Box and called it degenerate art? I am suggesting this to avoid the passive tense and add a little more context. I am terrible at DYK reviews and hooks though so I understand if you would prefer the original. I just wanted to offer a suggestion. Aoba47 (talk) 04:04, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
  • I'd be fine with that. To me it reads better without "and called it degenerate art" because then the hook is that an abstract animation could hold something worthy of protest, but either phrasing would be totally cool with me. hinnk (talk) 05:55, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
  • I struck that part and again, it is only a suggestion. Aoba47 (talk) 10:56, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
