 * (Not reviewing; just an observation....) None of the above hooks are valid. A hook must have a link to the DYK article, and the link must be bold. Please see WP:DYKHOOK. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  02:15, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I missed that (only the second DYK I've done). I've now provided piped links to the article in each hook. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:55, 10 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg - Nice article.
 * Good Article status June 8
 * The first hook is best IMO for a wide audience though sheep fans would disagree. Fact verified.

 * Promoting the sheep. I find ALT0 obscure, and think that most readers will click on Younger Dryas to know what it even means. Yoninah (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2019 (UTC) |}}
