 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hook is the right length, cited and of interest. The page is new enough, long enough and has no copyright errors. Quid pro quo is good. The page is of good quality and neutral. Made one or two copy edits to page, not important and not upset if Moonraker changes back. I would drop the caps on "Occupied" in the hook, but if it is there for a reason, am not going to fight for it. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 09:52, 11 April 2019 (UTC))
 * This hook sounds a bit like a tongue twister or simply gibberish. I read it a few times before giving up and just opening the article... which is the ultimate point of the hook, so I suppose it works! I agree with Dushan Jugum that it should say "occupied Denmark" because the capitalization implies that the word "occupied" was part of the country's name. Surtsicna (talk) 12:24, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Dropped the caps on occupied in the Hook. (Dushan Jugum (talk) 20:09, 11 April 2019 (UTC)).
