 * Symbol question.svg Can a better hook be proposed here? Frankly the current one is pretty bland, even for history buffs. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:54, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed, including of the ALT1 hook. Striking original hook due to clear blandness. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:01, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain but not particularly relevant to the hook. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:16, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
