*...that after filing a civil rights complaint with the Office for Civil Rights against [[Princeton University]], alleging discrimination against Asian-Americans in its admissions policies, [[Yale University]] freshman '''[[Jian Li]]''' was the subject of a controversial parody in the annual joke issue of ''[[The Daily Princetonian]]''? article by {{user|Audacity}}, expansion by {{user|CaliforniaAliBaba}}, nom by '''[[User:Nishkid64|<span style="background:#009;color:#7FFF00">Nish</span><span style="background:cyan;color:#009">kid</span>]][[User talk:Nishkid64|<span style="background:orange;color:navy blue">64</span>]]''' 21:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

::*Seems to lose the whole reason why Jian Li is notable. Mentioning [[Princeton University]] and his complaint is essential for this DYK hook.

:::*Try...that '''[[Jian Li]]''', with a perfect 2400 on his [[SAT]], filed a civil rights complaint against [[Princeton University]] alleging reverse discrimination after Princeton failed to admit him? ++[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 22:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
::::I can live with this. Thanks, Lar. '''[[User:Nishkid64|<span style="background:#009;color:#7FFF00">Nish</span><span style="background:cyan;color:#009">kid</span>]][[User talk:Nishkid64|<span style="background:orange;color:navy blue">64</span>]]''' 22:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::*Note that a hook ''often'' highlights a minor or trivial fact from an article. If we had a list of "What hooks are not" we would include "A hook is not an article summary". Both Jian Li's complaint against [[Princeton]] (the "meat" of the article) and the controversy about ''[[The Daily Princetonian]]'' (a less essential fact) make interesting hooks. Rejection of the latter because it "Seems to lose the whole reason why Jian Li is notable" is an application of invalid criteria. [[User:Shaundakulbara|Shaundakulbara]] 01:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::*Well, now that you say that, I would still like to have my original hook, but it still needs to be shortened a bit before it goes up to Next Update.

:::::::* This hook suggested above is short yet mentions both the article and the reason for the article: "...after a [[Racial quotas|racial quota]] dispute, [[Yale University]] freshman '''[[Jian Li]]''' was the subject of a controversial parody in the annual joke issue of ''[[The Daily Princetonian]]''?"
