• The article is new enough and long enough, but the hook needs work. I don't know what "a file ... found in the files" means, and looking at the article doesn't really help. Perhaps you could come up with a new hook? Josh Milburn (talk) 18:27, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

@J Milburn: How about: ALT1 ...that development surrounding Fallout 4: Nuka-World was rumored after a game file called "DLCNukaWorld.esm" was uncovered? Anarchyte (work | talk) 01:31, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes, better; I'm not sure about the word "surrounding", though. I think both the hook and the article could be improved by a mention of where this file was found, though, as it's currently pretty ambiguous. Josh Milburn (talk) 03:34, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

@J Milburn: After a bit more digging, I've reworded the main article. How about this for a hook?

ALT2...that rumors surrounding Fallout 4: Nuka-World were posted three months before the release, after a Reddit user uncovered a line of code referencing "DLCNukaWorld.esm"?

It's 170 characters (188 if formatting is included), so it's long but it's not too long. Anarchyte (work | talk) 03:51, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes, clearer. I do think that this is a great hook fact, so it's just a matter of getting the wording right. How about

ALT3: ...that a reference to "DLCNukaWorld.esm" in the source code of Fallout 4 led to rumors of Fallout 4: Nuka-World months before its announcement?

Only if you like it, though! Josh Milburn (talk) 15:53, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

@J Milburn: That's a great hook, we'll go with that one. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:00, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

ALT3 approved. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:01, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
