Comment: I have to think of more hooks. Thanks again to MrLinkinPark333 and Narutolovehinata5 for suggesting alt hooks 2 and 3 on Discord.

Hi Epicgenius. Congrats on the very interesting article! The DYK nomination is eligible, with it being submitted within 7 days of the article being expanded 5x. The hooks are interesting. I'd like to see if it's possible to fit in that east-facing buildings were considered "spiritually healthy". This would allow the DYK reader to fully get why east-facing is important.

@Hdolf: Thanks for the review. If you're talking about ALT2, I'll try to think of something. But it may be better to leave the reader in suspense, anyway, so they'll want click on the article. epicgenius (talk) 20:20, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: I was looking more at one. I can see your point though; while all of the DYK headers work, I'd suggest that the first works best. Let me know any thoughts. Hdolf (talk) 20:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

@Hdolf: I see. I'll try to think of something later. epicgenius (talk) 20:27, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
