  • Can a new hook be proposed here? It doesn't seem very interesting, and it's also very vague (separating the preparatory division of what? The University?). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:03, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
    • @Narutolovehinata5: That's the main thing he's known for as far as his presidency of Georgetown is concerned; it was a fairly significant decision. I've added a alternate hook, though, that might be catchier. Ergo Sum 05:10, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
      • Unfortunately that's still not a very interesting hook fact. Separating divisions isn't exactly uncommon in the academic world. Something else here needs to be proposed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:46, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
        • @Narutolovehinata5: I've added a second alternative; I find this one pretty interesting. Ergo Sum 23:41, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
          • Seems pretty negative, and/or rather bland. Do you have any other suggestions? ALT2 could be a start but more needs to be said, in this case. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:40, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
            • @Narutolovehinata5: I've added another alternative. It's more detailed and is certainly interesting in my book. Not sure what else is left in the article to offer if this doesn't work. Ergo Sum 00:56, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
@Ergo Sum: Reading the article again, perhaps another option here could be returning to the separation of buildings, albeit while adding the context (apparently he did it because of his belief that one was doing "corrupting influences" on the other?)

Requesting a new review. @Narutolovehinata5: I appreciate your review, but all of the DYK criteria have been satisfied except the one subjective one. Providing 4 possible hooks is more than reasonable and I think a new editor should weigh in. Ergo Sum 03:29, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

ALT3 is good to go. No other issues. AGF with some inaccessible sources. VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 10:25, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
