Comment: Please give me a day or two to do the QPQ. This struck me as a potential good quirky hook, but if you don't think so I could try to develop some alt hooks.

- It just sounded funny to me... I can try to come up with an alt then. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:07, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- That's the point of the hook; to click on the article and find out. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:50, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
Here's two that Gonzo fan2007 came up with: ALT1 ...that Cowboy Wheeler was not famous for being a cowboy? / ALT2 ... that Cowboy Wheeler was not a cowboy? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:47, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
The first one sounds ok. Turn it into an alt, ping me and I will review it.Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 13:31, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @BeanieFan11: this article, 5x expanded on 26 Feb, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ provided. No copyvio issues. I'm not sure about ALT1 or ALT2, as they state a fact not explicitly in the article, and it's not awfully surprising for an American to have "Cowboy" as a nickname. I'm happy to approve ALT0 (which a previous reviewer took umbrage at) as a quirky hook. ALT0 is cited, in the article, and citation checks out. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 22:40, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
