~~... that the original owner of Kentucky radio station WCBR, a pastor, asked his employees each week if they wanted their checks or if they wanted to donate them?~~ Source: http://countryaircheck.com/images/upload/file/03-2009/HOF-House.pdf

Hi, Sammi Brie, review follows: 5x expanded, long enough, referenced, reasonably well written, neutral, referenced, free from copyvio, QPQ has been done. Hook could be better phrased to line up with the source, I think— I'm not convinced that House's quote can support that the pastor asked multiple employees, and does "give it to the Lord" necessarily equate "donate"? Curious to hear your thoughts. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:46, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it means donate. Could change to format to the singular. "asked an employee each week if he wanted his check..."--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 06:17, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds really awkward to my ear... I did a little digging to see if there was more to work with and I'm afraid I'm not finding that much else to base a hook off of. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:24, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How about something like

ALT1 ... that while he worked at Kentucky radio station WCBR, the owner, a pastor, would ask Gerry House if he wanted to donate his salary?

Sammi Brie-- it is an interesting hook fact and I think we should be able to find a way to keep emphasis on the station, even if this alt isn't it. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 03:38, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's...okay...but still quite awkward, Eddie891. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:43, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it isn’t perfect— maybe you or someone else who sees this will have a smoother suggestion? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 03:58, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1a ... that while Gerry House worked at Kentucky radio station WCBR, the owner, a pastor, asked him if he wanted to donate his salary?

How does this sound? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 05:15, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Eddie891 and Narutolovehinata5: That'd be fine by me. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:38, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1a is good to go. I feel OK promoting this because it's based on the fact in ALT0, really. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 18:25, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
