• File:Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Please review the hooks. QPQ needed. --evrik ^(talk) 16:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Evrik: QPQ done. The hook indeed sounds better. Thanks. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 13:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

  • I can't approve my own hook. --evrik ^(talk) 16:12, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

• While it does say that the man behind the camp is/was "something of a hippie", the statement within the article, used here as the hook, is unsupported by the two references. The thrust of this social experiment seems to be eliminating "stereotypes and labels" which doesn't necessarily translate to "hippie/counterculture" as imagined in the article.Gulbenk (talk) 02:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Gulbenk: Here is a better source [1]. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 02:38, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, that will do nicely. Attach that to the appropriate line in the article, and we should be able to move this along.Gulbenk (talk)

• @Gulbenk: Done. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 03:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Good. I'll sign off on this once you complete the QPQ, which appears to be still pending.Gulbenk (talk) 03:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

• Also, the NYT says: "Distractify, [is] a viral content site that fills Facebook news feeds with feel-good posts built largely on repackaging content from other websites." As such, it likely exercises limited editorial control over content. While a news aggregator might be an acceptable source to Wikipedia, let's not use it here to reinforce this hook.
