Article, image, and QPQ are good, but hook isn't very hooky. You might want to find a more interesting fact, like his Aurora being banned for eroticism, or the bidders who thought they were going to get a work by
Charlie Chaplin.--

Thanks for reviewing
Brainy J. I've added a couple of ALTs below.

ALT1 ... that judges tried to ban a Charles Chaplin painting (example pictured) as they felt it was "too erotically suggestive"?
ALT2 ... that a painting (example pictured) by Charles Chaplin was mistakenly thought to be the work of
Charlie Chaplin?
I like these hooks. ALT1 would be especially good if we can display the specific painting that the Salon took issue with.--

Oh, I don't know, I don't really want to change that hook. It is actually not mine, I asked user
Crisco 1492 to do it for me, it is by his courtesy,
see hereand I liked that very much. Crisco's hooks are rather catchy, and I trust him. And I do think it is rather hooky. There was no picture we have that it was involved at the Saloon

(watching) I agree with Hafspajen and Crisco on the effect of simplicity of the original hook. It is interesting because people will first think of the other Charlie Ch. - If one of the ALTs, I think the pictured clause should be after the man's name, but it is not "elegant", --

Quite so, Gerda. Se here,
[1], one article got hit 9,318 just because of the hook, (and that was Crisco's hook...) ... that a Norwegian school (pictured) was named for Thor and built by a hammer? And I do think this first original hook is rather hooky. I would give it a go, and see what happens. He is rather an expert on hooks.
Hafspajen (
talk) 20:01, 22 April 2014 (UTC) if this article will be seen by people, it is going to be because of the hook, not because of the artist, who is a rather nice but not a really a genius. (that is my oppinion)
