 * ... that Trader Joe's sued a pirate from Vancouver for reselling its merchandise?
 * Reviewed: 2013 GoPro Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma
 * Comment: Open to other hook ideas. The more pirate references, the better.

 * Symbol question.svg Is the hook accurate enough? The article does not say Michael is a pirate. ☯ Bonkers The Clown  \(^_^)/  Nonsensical Babble  ☯ 14:16, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * He's not a pirate but the store is called Pirate Joe's. I've seen hooks worded like that before. ViperSnake151   Talk  16:38, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Such practices are only allowed for April Fools' Day, and I don't think this is Foolsy enough for that. But I think a much hookier hook would be:
 * ALT1: ... that after the owner of Pirate Joe's was prohibited from purchasing Trader Joe's merchandise for resale, he cross-dressed to evade the ban, but was mistaken for a robber? M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  21:05, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Lemme streamline it:
 * ALT3: ... that the owner of an unofficial Trader Joe's reseller, Pirate Joe's, tried to use cross-dressing to evade his ban from a store, but got mistaken for a robber? ViperSnake151   Talk  21:26, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Article - created new on 28 August, so new enough; 4646 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig/duplication detector; and assessed as start class.
 * Hook - ALT3 is within length criteria at 158 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #1 in first para of 'Opposition' section; and entertaining (yes, I have a weird sense of humour!); this is the hook that appealed so I have struck the others for clarity.
 * QPQ done; no image.

Looks fine. SagaciousPhil  -  Chat  13:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
