 * Perhaps a more tasteful hook could be found? Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 05:36, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, but would it be as hooky? (Though I am not sure if that one is distasteful in the first place.) My original idea was: ALT1: ... that Penelope, Viscountess Cobham (pictured), is known as the "Quango Queen" due to her involvement in many quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations? Then I changed my mind, fearing that most people would be put off by so many "big words". What do you think about it? Have you got any ideas? Surtsicna (talk) 11:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I subscribe to the notion that we should treat BLPs with kid gloves and respect on the main page so that we don't appear as a "tabloid"; other opinions may differ. I hope we can refer to something other than her divorce.  Just one person's opinion ... Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 13:26, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. How do you feel about the alternative hook? Surtsicna (talk) 13:29, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Not being familiar with the cultural and political implications, I don't have a position on that ... just commenting that a DYK focused on divorce was troubling. Best of luck here, unwatching now ... Regardds, Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 13:33, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I would go with the alternative hook. Everything in the article checks out. Samuel Peoples (talk) 21:14, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
