  • Please copyedit the hook, too; it doesn't make sense. Which school? Yoninah (talk) 20:32, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. I have rewritten the hook as ALT1. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:26, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I don't see the hook fact about "thousands of students around the world" in the article. I see thousands of students in Australia striking on Fridays. I see "similar protests" in other countries. Unless you can be more specific about who is striking in those other countries, how about this hook, mentioning her age:
  • ALT2: ... that 15-year-old Greta Thunberg of Sweden has inspired thousands of students in Australia to strike for climate change activism? Yoninah (talk) 00:22, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • I have added few sentences with refs. Thanks. Gfosankar (talk) 02:38, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • @Gfosankar: thank you. I also added that 20,000 figure from The Guardian. So what do you think about this alt:
  • ALT3: ... that 1516-year-old Greta Thunberg (pictured) of Sweden has inspired 20,000 students around the world to strike for climate change activism? Yoninah (talk) 14:06, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Ok, I go with ALT3. Gfosankar (talk) 14:59, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Another reviewer is needed for ALT3. Pinging @Cwmhiraeth:. Yoninah (talk) 17:44, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Adding an image. Yoninah (talk) 17:46, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • The image is appropriately licensed. Approving ALT3 as long as it runs before January 3rd, her birthday.. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:26, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
  • Ooh, let's run this on her birthday! I'll move it to the special occasion holding area for January 3. Thanks for the tick. Yoninah (talk) 19:28, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
