I usually find coming up with a good hook one of the more difficult parts of this process. Maybe soemthing about the efforts to save the campground from a wildfire last year? Alternate photo posted of that. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:24, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds like a good idea if it can be paired with the image. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi, I came by to promote this, and I just want to note that the image of the burned area is far too dark at thumbnail size, so this will have to run without an image. However, the hooks aren't so hooky on their own. What do you think about adding that interesting detail about burnout strategy and drip torches to save the campground?
