 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article was promoted to good article status on 27 August. It is long enough, neutral, uses inline citations and I cannot see any copyright violations. The first hook is 75 characters too long, and ALT2 is 28 characters too long. If you want to tweak them, please feel free, but I actually prefer ALT1. I think it's the most interesting. All three hooks are sourced using inline citations. ALT1 uses an offline source. QPQ has been done. - JuneGloom07 Talk  01:11, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank for reviewing June. As the plain text of original hook and ALT 2 are both under 200 characters (181 and 176 characters respectively), I assume you did the character count on the hooks using the wikitext rather than the plain text. I think that it is the plain text that the hook length is calculated on. For example, the plain text for the DYK that ran earlier today for Überwasserkirche, the nomination I reviewed, is 192 characters, but the wikitext is 214. The DYK currently on the main page about the killing of Mollie Tibbits is 175 in the plain text, but 220 characters in the wikitext. Perhaps one of the DYK managers can confirm.DavidCane (talk) 17:48, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, if that's the case, then I'm happy to go with the first hook. - JuneGloom07 Talk  19:07, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
