5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:40, 19 June 2021 (UTC).
- Expanded 5x (849 characters to 4451 characters) recently enough. Long enough. Both hooks are fine, cited, and very interesting, but I like the first one best. I wonder, though, if this is a better version: "... that Abraham Zapruder sold his film of JFK's assassination to Richard Stolley because he acted like "a gentleman"?" My version remains within the hook length requirement and, I think, is more clear. Your version, though, is click-batey, but so is mine. I leave the choice of which version to use up to you, and it won't get in the way of a successful DYK review. Hook refs good. Everything follows policies and article is neutral. QPQ not required. Nice job, good to go.
