  • Symbol confirmed.svg New, long, interesting enough article; interesting hook. All looks good. Might want some more reliable sources than Mashable/Twitter/Hindustan Times but Engadget and CNET give everything important good credibility. Kingsif (talk) 16:36, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook wording needs to be adjusted. It's only suspected that the reviewer was a Facebook employee. And why is the second half of the hook hooky? Are all Facebook employees users of Facebook? Yoninah (talk) 21:05, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
    Hi Template:U, thanks for looking over the hook. I've added ALT1, which includes the word "suspected" to be more accurate. As for the second half, Facebook employees use Workplace by Facebook, which includes Facebook Groups, to communicate internally within the company:
    Are the changes in ALT1 acceptable? — Newslinger talk 21:36, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping how about
  • ALT1a: ... that a Facebook employee supposedly wrote a five-star review of Facebook Portal on Amazon, and claimed not to be a big Facebook user before buying the device? Yoninah (talk) 21:45, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
    • Looks good to me. I've struck out the others. — Newslinger talk 21:47, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping thank you. But I wonder if it's more effective like this:
  • ALT1b: ... that a five-star Amazon review of Facebook Portal, by a writer who claimed not to be a big Facebook user before buying the device, was traced to a Facebook employee? Yoninah (talk) 21:49, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
    • Wow, I think ALT1b is the best one. The word "traced" works really well here. — Newslinger talk 21:53, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. Restoring tick for ALT1b per Kingsif's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:11, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your help with the final hook! — Newslinger talk 22:15, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
