  • Symbol question.svg Seedstock.com said it was "the oldest continuously operating farmers’ market west of the Mississippi", which supports the hook except for the "public market" part. Food in Missouri wrote that "it was said to be the oldest public market west of the Mississippi River," which does not support the "continuously operated " part of the hook. Moon St Louis just calls it "the oldest market west of the Mississippi River". Unless a public market is one in the same as a farmers' market, I don't think we can safely combine "oldest continuously operating farmers’ market" with "oldest public market" to produce the hook "oldest continuously operated public market". Use one fact or another as the hook, but do not combine them.—Bagumba (talk) 08:43, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but tagged the first paragraph under History for being too long and off-topic. It would be better to focus on the market's history rather than this roundabout family history. Also, the ALT1 hook is not going to draw anyone in, IMO, especially without an image. I think you should take something else from the article, like:
  • ALT2: ... that most sellers at the Soulard Farmers Market in St. Louis, Missouri, are not farmers, but merchants who buy their produce wholesale? Yoninah (talk) 18:13, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Template:Re ALT2 is a statement about the present, but the references used are almost 10 years old. Granted it's not a BLP, but I would generally not prefer negative hooks about a current entity either.—Bagumba (talk) 03:38, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
