  • ... that in the early 1950s,
    Chief Minister of Mysore, wanted to demolish the Attara Kacheri (pictured), seeing it as a vestige of colonialism? Source: "He even sought to demolish the Karnataka High Court (also known as “Attara Kacheri”) for representing the colonial vestige in India, but he was denied the requisite permission."

  • Isn't this just new, on 3rd january? Anyway, new & long enough, seems neutral & well-written & referenced. Both hooks check out for sources but I make ALT1 247 characters long; the limit is 200. Johnbod (talk) 17:25, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT2 ":... that unable to demolish the colonial-style
    Chief Minister of Mysore, instead built the Dravidian-style Vidhana Soudha opposite it at a slight elevation? - comes out at 200 exactly, & could be even shorter. I suppose a new reviewer is needed if this is gone with. Johnbod (talk) 17:34, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply

Also Johnbod, the hook you proposed is actually 190 characters long, as I believe the (pictured) part is not counted in the character count. Thus, I suggest a final alt, fixing up the grammar a bit:
This does work out to 201 characters, but I don't think one character will be an issue? Please comment. 196 characters now. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI converse | fings wot i hav dun 16:37, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's ok by me, but a new reviewer will be needed (and they might object). Btw, the extent to which the new building actually is "Dravidian-style" is questionable, but it is certainly called that. Johnbod (talk) 17:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Johnbod, I made a final small tweak - I changed Kengal Hanumanthiah to K. Hanumanthiah, which is also a common name the CM was (and continues to be) known by, and is, in fact, the name his article uses. The hook is only 196 characters long now.

For further reviewers: ALT3 is the one I believe is better, because it more accurately states that the Chief Minister ordered a structure to be built, while ALT2 just states that 'he built it'. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI converse | fings wot i hav dun 04:40, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

after i suggested a hook. Johnbod (talk) 17:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

for ALT3 and article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used throughout. Hook length within limit and facts are cited and stands verified from the peer-reviewed article[1] mentioned in the article. Image is of best quality and has been featured as 'image of the day' in multiple Wikipedia and has no licensing issues. Good to go — Amkgp 💬 06:45, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
