Created by OlifanofmrTennant (talk). Self-nominated at 02:54, 12 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/All's Well That Ends Well; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Comment the page was wrongly created at "/All's Well That Ends Well" without the "(iZombie)" I have since corrected this so it should be all good. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:05, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to approve this with the caveat that I've done some copyediting and a small amount of cleanup during the course of my review. ALT0 is probably my favorite. It almost feels like clickbait. I imagine many readers will associate the name Rob Thomas with a certain vocalist – I know I did – and ALT0 places that name front and center. Beyond that, I find the hook genuinely interesting for reasons which are summed up by its source: Turns out that the zombie apocalypse actually ends happily ever after. Who would have thought? Earwig turns up clear, the article is long enough, and a check of the sources has verified the information for which they are cited.
