Utako Otamoto

 * Hooks need to be 200 characters or less. Your first hook is 256 characters.  I have suggested two ALT hooks that are less than 200 characters. — Maile  (talk) 18:43, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. Approving ALT1 which conforms to hook requirements. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:36, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you both,— Maile and Cwmhiraeth. I suggest a small edit for ALT!: insert "was" before "asked" and "later" before "discovered" because it could read too easily like she herself asked- do I need to write an ALT3 ? I am still new at DYK.
 * FYI I had more hooks on Talk:Utako Okamoto just picked the one that the only other editor,, favored. Am adding two ALTernatives --Wuerzele (talk) 11:52, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * + Approving ALT3 and ALT1b, which I have amended as you suggested. I don't like ALT4 because it does not mention that the daughter was an infant at the time. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:30, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I see. inserted infant per video testimony.--Wuerzele (talk) 12:49, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. ALT1b, ALT3 and ALT4 are all now approved. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:59, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
