(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that the 2015 shootings in Chattanooga targeting military installations killed five U.S. military personnel?

• ALT1:... that the 2015 Chattanooga shootings were inspired by Jihad?

Length and history verified. However, both hooks are dull since, as this article is a failed ITN candidate, they're more or less news hooks, not DYK hooks. So, I have proposed a new hook of my own that's a little more eyebrow-raising and verified the reference:

• ALT3: ... that Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez told a friend that ISIS was a "stupid group ... completely against Islam" before he shot and killed five U.S. military personnel in Chattanooga? Daniel Case (talk) 06:16, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

• Struck ALT3, as it does not appear anywhere in the article proper—the quote certainly doesn't—a basic DYK requirement. This is one of the many reasons we don't allow people to approve their own hooks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:31, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

New hook will be needed, since all hooks have been struck. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

ALT4: ... that the family of the perpetrator of the 2015 Chattanooga shootings had tried to get him inpatient psychiatric care but a health insurer refused to approve the expense? - Dravecky (talk) 17:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Wow. Like that's never happened before, anywhere. Daniel Case (talk) 03:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

It's a hook crafted to get readers to click to learn more. That's all. - Dravecky (talk) 05:24, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

In which case I doubt they will, since it's basically "dog bites man." Daniel Case (talk) 03:11, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I say we go back to ALT3 and either edit the article so that the quote is used (per BlueMoonset's suggestion when I did something similar in another recent nom) or reword that hook thus:

• ALT5: ... that Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez made statements critical of ISIS before he shot and killed five U.S. military personnel in Chattanooga? Daniel Case (talk) 03:16, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

• Full review needed including new hook and its sourcing, neutrality of hook and article, and close paraphrasing. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:26, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

New enough, long enough. ALTs 4 and 5 both short enough and sourced, but to me ALT4 is slightly more interesting, as I am from the UK, where we have the National Health Service. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found. QPQ done and image properly licensed. Good to go.--Launchballer 23:28, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
