 * Symbol question.svg I will review this nomination within the next day. Kylo, Rey, &#38; Finn Consortium (formerly epicgenius) (talk) 13:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I suggest another ALT:
 * ALT1: ... that the Haskelite Manufacturing Corporation provided most of the plywood material for the Spirit of St. Louis (pictured), which Charles Lindbergh flew on a record-breaking transatlantic flight in 1927?
 * This is a very interesting article. However, there doesn't seem to be any information at all on how the company ended. Did it go bankrupt, merge with another country, or simply stop operation? Also, do you wish to switch ALTs, keep the current ALT, or propose another ALT? Otherwise, I will pass this article.Kylo, Rey, &#38; Finn Consortium (formerly epicgenius) (talk) 14:10, 31 May 2016 (UTC)


 * The ALT1 hook is better and I approve of it over my original (have stuck it out). Have added Demise section and will add to it as I find further. Have removed captions of pictures in gallery.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:14, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Then I think we have resolved all of the hook-related guidelines. The pictures in the gallery may at least need alternative text, for blind readers. Other than the underscored sources—which are unusual, to say the least—I think we are all good for now. Kylo, Rey, &#38; Finn Consortium (formerly epicgenius) (talk) 16:35, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Comment to Promoter Could this be set #1 in the queue with the Spirit of St. Louis image. I believe it would attract a lot of hits. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:55, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
