  • Not finding the term "harmonic chain" in the article. Valereee (talk) 18:03, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
  • I don't know what a harmonic chain is, which I think affects interestingness of the hook. Maybe a link? Valereee (talk) 18:04, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
  • QPQ started; I can AGF on finishing it once we finish up here. Valereee (talk) 18:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
    I confess, I used "harmonic" mostly because I don't know a better word to describe a chain of planets whose orbits are in a beautiful mathematical order. Is there a better word? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:43, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
    How do reliable sources describe it? Surtsicna (talk) 16:39, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
    This press release uses "harmonic". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:17, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
  • I have to respectfully disagree with Valereee here. I don't really think sticking to the "harmonic" angle would be a good idea, at least without alternative options, considering it may be hard to get by people who aren't into astronomy (I'm an astronomy buff myself and I don't know what it means). TRAPPIST-1 is one of the most-studied and most famous exoplanet systems around, so I'd really prefer there to be a wider pool of possible hooks to be proposed here rather than a single option. I won't oppose the harmonic hook being approved or promoted if chosen, but ideally there should be more hook proposals considering the system's importance in astronomy.

Jo-Jo Eumerus, ALT1 would be fine with me. Valereee (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
@Valereee: Is there anything missing? QPQ is linked. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Approving with ALT1, thanks all! Valereee (talk) 11:19, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
