 * ... that Napoleon Bonaparte had great interest in geometry and may even have discovered Napoleon points?


 * Without reviewing the article, I wish to point out that the first part of the hook may indeed be true, but it is not supported by the new article - naturally so, because it would also be of marginal relevance. That's the second problem with the hook: it itself is about something that's not really relevant to the topic of the article. Dahn (talk) 20:50, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It is supported, upon a second look. My other objections stand, but are not vital. Dahn (talk) 20:52, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hooks aren't generally expected to sum up the article. When it comes to articles about mathematics, the lay reader probably wouldn't be able to understand the hook, if it does sum up the article.--Carabinieri (talk) 14:11, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

 * After re-reading the article and the some of the sources, I think the following hook would be more appropriate:
 * ... that Napoleon Bonaparte had great interest in geometry, but probably did not discover Napoleon points?--Carabinieri (talk) 19:04, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree on latter/alternate hook, FWIW. Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:31, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
