Hey, ReedyTurnip, I'm not sure about the source for the hook sentence. I don't hugely object to such a source being used in the article itself, I don't think they're making this stuff up, but could we find something with a stronger indication of editorial oversight for DYK purposes? Valereee (talk) 19:42, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I just added a second citation to the claim in the article, here is the link https://www.courant.com/2010/09/29/kids-pick-a-name-for-quassy-roller-coaster/. The Hartford Courant article has mostly the same information as the other source, though it is paywalled. I am not sure if the Coaster101 source should be kept in the article, it was considered generally reliable here, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Amusement Parks/Archive 5, but the new source is more reliable, though paywalled.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ReedyTurnip (talk • contribs)

ReedyTurnip, thanks! Happy to AGF the paywalled source, and readers can see from the headline itself that it supports the assertion. Valereee (talk) 12:23, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

ALT0 approved. ReedyTurnip, just for further thought, you might want to add 'roller coaster' somehow into the hook. Roller coasters are something a lot of people are interested in. I'd suggest one, but then we'd need to get someone else in here to approve it, as I can't approve my own hook. Ping me if you add one! Valereee (talk) 12:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Valereee, I added a couple of alternate hooks to the nomination. I wasn't exactly sure how to include the fact that Wooden Warrior is a roller coaster while maintaining the active tone and flow of the hook, but hopefully one of the new hooks will be approved. Thank you for the review. ReedyTurnip (talk) 18:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

All three ALTs approved. ReedyTurnip, if you prefer any over the others, you're allowed to strike any ALTs you don't prefer. Valereee (talk) 18:09, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
