 * Approving all three hooks, but I prefer the original. Catrìona (talk) 16:08, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. To be quite honest, I find it tiresome to put sources here, as I frequently patch together hooks from a number of different places in the article; and the reviewer is required to check that it's in the article and sourced therein anyhow, so I've never bothered.
