- Comment: Expanded more than fivefold; date ok; hook meets guidelines; have tidied the English a little, probably needs a second run by someone else before appearing on the front page, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 22:28, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input! Copyedit done. Can you please have a look again? Thanks, Alex2006 (talk) 07:53, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- Have done, and have provided more English-language refs; how about this alternative hook:
- ALT1... that the rats of the Italian island of Montecristo (pictured) may be bombarded by air?
- Thanks, it is also a possibility. Anyway, I moved the news about the rats below, since I don't think that belongs to the introduction. Either in history or in fauna paragraph. Moreover, I added a reliable link to the info. Anyway, it is yet another typical storia all'Italiana...
- What are you saying about the British (and Italian?) gutter press? Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 16:01, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Do you think that the Article is ready now? Alex2006 (talk) 13:15, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Good to go - date, length, hook(s) checked out (though I have now been involved in the article so someone else may want to review), Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 16:01, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
