ALT3: ... that deco mail was the first messaging to use emojis, but it was eclipsed with the advent of social media and messaging apps?
  • Can we go with the fact that NTT Docomo was the first Japanese cell phone service to use that feature? i.e.

  • @Lullabying and Evrik: I was going to promote this, but I have some concerns with the proposed hooks. For ALT 3, the hook implies that Decome's popularity declined when social media and messaging apps became popular, but the article says, "Decome was popular in 2012, when social media and messaging apps became popular...". This seems contradictory, and the source is paywalled so I cannot check it. Is there alternative wording that can be used? For ALT4, I could not verify the information in the source used in the article; while the source says that decome was created by NTT Docomo, it doesn't say that they were the first to use it. What sentence(s) from the source verify ALT4's information? Z1720 (talk) 14:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I looked at the source used to verify this information in the article again ([1], the same source provided above) and I still cannot verify that Ntt Docomo was the first cell phone service to use deco mail. Can Lullabying or evrik provide the quote from a source that verifies this information? Thanks. (I haven't looked at the other ALTs because they were not approved by evrik, so they might be inclined to approve other ones.) Z1720 (talk) 00:01, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
