this nomination's talk page,

Unless the reader is familiar with Bonkers (and I doubt most of our readership is), the hook is not easy to understand, let alone catchy. I understand if the intention is "the hook is vague on purpose to encourage readers to click", but with the current wording it might just confuse rather than entice readers. Pinging
Launchballer for possible hook suggestions given they're familiar with music articles and hooks.

Thank you for the feedback
Narutolovehinata5 and for the suggestions
Launchballer. I did have a concern the initial proposed hook weas a bit too vague. I personally like Launchballers ALT1. Resonant

Thanks for ALT1! I'm probably not the best person to review it as I've never heard of MC Magika before, but I don't think knowledge of the person is required to understand the hook so it's not a major issue. I've struck the other suggestions, so this can now receive a full review. — Preceding

This is the oldest fully unreviewed nom (well,
Template:Did you know nominations/Environmental damage of Gaza caused by the Israel–Hamas war, but that's clearly in hand) and I need a QPQ, so I'm reviewing. Long enough, new enough. No neutrality issues found, no maintenance templates found, Earwig has no valid complaints. QPQ done. Looking at ALT1 now, I'd question whether we need to mention MC Magika by name, but I'll let a prepbuilder make that decision. New reviewer needed to approve ALT1.--Launchballer 12:14, 29 April 2024 (UTC)reply
This has been stuck for a while, so I'm proposing an alternative ALT1 wording for consideration, although ALT1 itself is also fine:
ALT1a: ... that "Toy Town" was said to have "almost destroyed" the
happy hardcore scene?
The thing about ALT1/ALT1a is that the reference for the "almost destroyed" statement comes in a subsequent sentence, when the guidelines say it has to be at the end of the relevant sentence. This will be approved once that's sorted out.

Hi
Narutolovehinata5 - I have just moved the reference within the
article - which should resolve the issue? Resonant
Distortion 22:12, 1 May 2024 (UTC)reply
Thanks. This should be good to go: I will leave it to the promoter to decide between ALT1 and ALT1a, although my reservations about the relevance of MC Magika's mention remains.
