 * I was looking to promote this, but thought that a more interesting hook would be

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg That's fine by me. Adding new review needed marker for the new alt . Pinging  in hopes that the alt can also be reviewed. North America1000 17:02, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Yes I think ALT1 is a much more interesting hook. Pinging .  FITINDIA   17:10, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg  you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. So far your review covers newness, length, and (I think) cited hook. Please also check for neutrality, close paraphrasing, and completed QPQ. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:43, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not see the ALT1 hook fact in the source. The source describes the soldiers' meal and then says that "more than one clever wit" called it a "square meal". It doesn't say who the "clever wit" was; it could have been a journalist, too.

 * I have added the following sources listed below to the article to further verify. Another option is to skip the ALT and just go with the initial hook. North America1000 22:20, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. I also think we should go with the first hook. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:34, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
