 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough, long enough, it has adequate references with no evidence of plagiarism; both hooks are appropriate length and references are good. QPQ is done.--Orygun (talk) 06:00, 10 March 2018 (UTC)


 * In light of the veto, I'm here to propose an ALT2 hook to replace ALT0: ... that Washington governor Jay Inslee vetoed a bill exempting state legislators from the state's Public Records Act, which passed both chambers in less than 48 hours?
 * Thoughts, ?  Sounder Bruce  22:53, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Agree, ALT1 would be better.--Orygun (talk) 01:42, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Did you mean ALT1 or ALT2?  Sounder Bruce  01:46, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I think both are good hooks. ALT2 tells a more complete DYK story with more fact points while ALT1 leaves reader hanging so it may prompt more people to follow-up.  Either one is fine with me…so I’ll leave choice to you.--Orygun (talk) 18:49, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
