 * Symbol question.svg Shouldn't that be Jurors plural? The headline of the source is plural, and the incident as recounted by said source mentions two female jurors. Both article and hook should be adjusted. (I don't think "female" is necessary.) BlueMoonset (talk) 18:40, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I have made the changes. I agree, no need to include "female" in there.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 20:12, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

The Millionaire can only confuse because nobody is going to know why the word is capitalized and italicized. If the hook was "... that the trial of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire "Coughing Major" was interrupted by the Coughing Jurors?" that would at least eliminate the confusion, but IMO it's an inessential detail regardless. But in order to avoid further debate, the easiest thing to do is simply propose an alt, so here it is: Regards, Gatoclass (talk) 13:27, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The word "millionaire" in the hook will be meaningless to anybody but those familiar with this TV program and will just cause confusion, so I suggest it is dropped. Gatoclass (talk) 10:10, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Isn't that the whole point of AFD? To mislead people? Keeping Millionaire in there makes a subtle hint about what it is but it will hook readers into clicking on it to confirm it. And of course it can be read as either about the TV show in its literal meaning or about a millionaire major with a cough. I wonder what thinks and I wonder if he could please add the tick?

 * ALT1: ... that the trial of the "Coughing Major" was interrupted by the coughing jurors?
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed for ALT1. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:55, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 is accurate and interesting. I've re-reviewed for completeness: new enough, long enough, neutral, plenty of references, no copyright issues seen, QPQ done. This is good to go. Mortee (talk) 21:21, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
