 * Symbol voting keep.svg Interesting, in good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Can you avoid the repetition of "wood" in the hook, perhaps? The image is licensed, and a good illustration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg   apologies but I'm removing this one from the queue for now, as (a) it has an orange tag at the top regarding the length of the lede, and (b) the next queue for 11 November is composed entirely of WW1 entries, making this one an oddball for that set. Once the orange tag issue is resolved it can be promoted back up again. Thanks  &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:51, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Oh good, thanks. There was also a query about whether the smell comes from cutting and exposing, or just from cutting. It's not totally clear to me what "blaze odour" means so it may hinge on that. The article and the hook match each other anyway. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:02, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Casliber, what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Blazing is described here. It is cutting some bark and exposing a lower layer of wood. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg then, sorry, missed it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
