- Please leave a new message at the bottom of the page. I will reply here, so do watchlist this page. Please do not email me regarding Wikipedia matters.
- Please do not template me using a level 1 warning - I don't appreciate being welcomed when I have, under various aliases, been editing here since 22 May 2008 (and using this one since 7 March 2013). You may trout me instead. Any other templates are fine to use.
- Most discussion boards - AfD, ANI etc. - requires that you notify me of any discussion I should be aware of - DON'T bother. Tag me with {{u|Launchballer}} on the page instead. I am aware that with some noticeboards it is considered bad practice to not do so, however please take this as me opting out. (Update January 2023; it appears we now have bots to do this instead so doubly don't bother.)
- I divide archives by year and then by every 100 posts.

DYK for Vitamin E
I see that you have shortened the ALT1 hook for Vitamin E. I accept this, but do prefer the longer version of ALT1 or the primary proposed hook about vitamin E and vaping injury. David notMD (talk) 11:17, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- @David notMD: Shorter hooks tend to be more effective, which is why I trimmed it. I'm also surprised ALT1 wasn't selected (with the caveat that I'd have yeeted everything between "used" and "cartridges"), but I don't feel strongly enough either way.--Launchballer 13:55, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- I defer to you. If the curious are prompted to go to the article after seeing the trimmed version they will find the explanation in the History section. My expectation is a modest bump above average daily viewing. An observation: on the science-related articles I have raised to GA - the other vitamins and others - there is a consistent dip in views per day on weekends. I attribute this to more viewing during the week from students doing homework assignments. David notMD (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
