Tombaugh Regio

 * ALT2:... that photos of the dwarf planet Pluto's heart-shaped region (pictured) revealed 11,000 ft mountains made of water ice in the surface feature?
 * ALT4:... that The Walt Disney Company acknowledged the perceived resemblance of the dwarf planet Pluto's heart-shaped region (pictured) to the Disney dog, Pluto?
 * ALT6:... that the dog Pluto lives in his hearted planet ?
 * ALT8: ... that Pluto's heart (pictured) has been provisionally named after Pluto discoverer Clyde Tombaugh?


 * Reviewed: Girl with a Pearl Earring (soundtrack)
 * Comment: A failed ITN nomination done by me. :( Meanwhile, the article will be renamed Tombaugh Regio by consensus soon. ALT5, ALT6, or ALT7 would be good for April Fools.

I'm striking a bunch of the hooks just to make less work for the reviewer. This isn't being held for April Fools, and some of the hooks are just more wordy versions of other hooks. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 21:49, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I copy edited ALT8 for grammatical reasons. By the way, can you de-strike ALTs 5~7? There is April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know. George Ho (talk) 21:55, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind; I de-struck these ALTs for April Fools. Let's leave it up to reviewer then. George Ho (talk) 04:39, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT9: ... that Tombaugh Regio (pictured), a heart-shaped region from Pluto, was provisionally named after the Pluto discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh? --George Ho (talk) 04:42, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I mean, the hooks are timely now, I don't think it's worth sitting on them for eight months until next April rolls around. TBH I'm not super crazy about ALT5–7 anyway, they seem more confusing than clever to me. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 05:35, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed now that hooks seem to be set. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:47, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the extremely large number of ALTs is intimidating potential reviewers, so I've hidden the stricken ones. I left one of the three versions of the April Fools hook, but I still would rather not hold it that long. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 00:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Dates are good, length is good, tone is neutral, prose is clear, and citations are plentiful. QPQ checks out. Text appears free of close paraphrasing. Hook facts are all directly cited and supported by their sources. I've struck ALT6 as confusing. ALTs 2, 4, 8, and 9 all check out but I have a very strong preference for ALT 8. - Dravecky (talk) 09:18, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
