 * Thanks, it's a shaggy dog story. I don't think we need an inline cite for a hook based on titles from the bibliography? As for the dog, I think it was supposedly Cornish so there may be jurisdictional issues too. I will need to get my teeth into that source and chew it over before commenting further.

 * I hope no one hounds you for this.  E Eng  18:52, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, I know when to drop the stick. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:17, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Philafrenzy, have you figured out the issues with the source and the hook citations? It's been ten days. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:57, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I will do it very shortly. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:19, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 * That's done, ref 8 for the first hook and 3 for the second. I also added the book suggested by Andrew. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:33, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed to complete the nomination. (Pinging Andrew D., in case he wants to work on it.) Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:17, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg A very entertaining read, and ALT1 is a great quirky hook! Article is new enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:47, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
