SCP Foundation
* ... that the SCP Foundation (logo pictured) contains and documents thousands of paranormal objects that violate natural law?
 * Alt 1:... that the SCP Foundation website (logo pictured) purportedly has containment procedures for thousands of paranormal objects?
 * Note: I switched out the hook to be more in line with site policy. The hook now addresses the SCP Foundation as a website, not a secret organization. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 01:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg What was wrong with the first hook? It seemed more clearer than the second hook that you have proposed. Everything else seems fine, SCP Foundation may require more copyediting. Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:15, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I was informed that the original hook violated a rule on hook content, specifically "If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way". Also, I cleaned up the spin-off work section a bit. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 15:24, 2 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Alt 3:... that the SCP Foundation (logo pictured) purportedly contains and documents thousands of paranormal objects?
 * Here is an alternate version of hook 2. It has the word purportedly, which indicates that it doesn't in actuality have the thousands of paranormal objects. However, I think it may be pushing the rules on fictional content. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 15:29, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Alt 3 sounds better. I will see you in 24 hours.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 17:20, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
