• @Zigzig20s: This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts have inline citations and I prefer the original hook and ALT2. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. So we are just waiting for a QPQ to be done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:29, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you. Your QPQ skills are coming along nicely! This is good to go with ALT2 or ALT0, and I think ALT2 is more interesting to a general audience. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:27, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
