 * Symbol question.svg Can a better hook be proposed here? The one proposed doesn't really seem interesting and in fact feels rather flat. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:59, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Added Alt. Philafrenzy (talk) 06:42, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Having reviewed the article, it is in date and long enough, and hook facts are cited in the sources. QPQ done, no copyvio, etc. I'd pass it, but still unsure about the hookiness, and I've made another suggestion above - ALT2. Spokoyni (talk) 18:47, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I like that. Added some context. I think Wood will get most of the hits but that's fine as I wrote that too. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:05, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Of the three hooks I personally prefer ALT1. As Spokoyni has already reviewed this, I'd leave the final choice to them or the promoter. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:35, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All three check out, happy to leave this to the discretion of the promoter. Spokoyni (talk) 09:35, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
