 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but for someone who lives outside of Russia, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Northern Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet. Can you suggest something hookier, especially if you're looking for an image slot? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

 * I've made a minor tweak to the hook above to show that the Northern Fleet is Arctic-based. Not really able to do the same with the Black Sea Fleet since its geographical location is in its name, but I'd think the average reader would be aware of the thousands of miles between the two.

 * So? People are reassigned in their jobs all the time. I'm afraid it really isn't hooky. Yoninah (talk) 22:48, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not inclined to argue a matter of opinion, the original reviewer seems to have thought it was ok. Feel free to withdraw it. Spokoyni (talk) 22:58, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Huh? Why not feel free to change it? DYK is all about writing hooky hooks. I'll suggest some alts tomorrow. Yoninah (talk) 23:27, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * How about ALT2? Though to be honest I would prefer a second opinion. Spokoyni (talk) 00:05, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg You know what? Let's go ahead and promote ALT0 without the image and see how many clicks it gets. Restoring tick per Papamac's review. Yoninah (talk) 16:53, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
