@ThadeusOfNazereth and Cyberlink420: Both hooks appear to be referenced by a primary document. Is there a secondary source for either hook? Lightburst (talk) 19:03, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lightburst: Not sure what you mean? ALT1 is sourced to Eurogamer.-- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

It is also mentioned in this interview. IceWelder [✉] 20:42, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Actually, now that I think of it, the original hook is also sourced here, which is where the image comes from. So that's both of them. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:30, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

@Lightburst: ALT1 is a secondary source, unless you're implying that it's primary because it cites the podcast, at which point pretty much every source ever would be primary. ALT0's source is primary in that it includes an interview with the senior developer of the game, but I'm unaware of any DYK rule that says hook sources can't be primary, we typically give leeway to interviews, and the source's use in the article fully meets the criteria laid out in WP:PRIMARY.

@ThadeusOfNazereth and Cyberlink420: The source is www.lego.com. That seemed primary to me since the article is about legos. I could be wrong of course. I see a secondary source was added to the hook language in the article so I can promote now. I also prefer ALT1. Lightburst (talk) 23:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
