Look, I'm sorry Doug, but I'm sick at the moment and also on a more-or-less wikibreak. This looks like a complicated issue that I haven't the energy to try and sort out right now. Maybe in a few days when hopefully I'm feeling a bit better, otherwise you might want to ask someone else for assistance. Cheers, Gatoclass (talk) 12:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
I was just writing an approval note on ALT4 when they took it off the suggestions page and placed it in the prep area. So the hook is now your ALT1 2nd version. I thought you might want to know, in case you still really want to change it. -- Zoeperkoe (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reviewing my hook. In order to encourage editors to add references to biographies of living persons (known as BLPs), for which references are often hard to come by, the DYK project recently started offering the opportunity to nominate pages that have been expanded only 2x with references. This does not apply to BLPs that already have a few references, and for which someone added a few more (in that case, he would have to do a 5x expansion). There is a special WikiProject which I check into now and then, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/UBLPs by other WikiProjects, which lists the thousands of unreferenced BLPs currently on Wikipedia.
