Luitpoldpark

 * ... that on a clear day, you can see the Alps from Luitpoldpark in Munich? Source: "on clear days, you can see all the way to the Alps."
 * ALT1: ... that Luitpoldpark was named after Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria, to commemorate his 90th birthday? Source: "Created in celebration of Prince Regent Luitpold's 90th birthday" [link as main hook]
 * Reviewed: It Came Out of the Sky

 * Comment: why not the water-spitting statue, pictured? - There are many places in the area offering that view ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * As Jimbo is fond of saying, "you can edit this page!" (and add an ALT2 to that effect). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  22:26, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * sorry no extra time --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:49, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I would go for ALT1, because as mentions you can see the Alps from most of Munich on a clear day. I like how ALT1 ties the park in to a historic figure. I was also thinking maybe a hook like "that a distinctive feature of Luitpoldpark in Munich is the Luitpoldhügel, a 37-metre (121 ft) tall hill consisting of rubble piled up from World War II bombing attacks on the city." Major kudos to  for greatly expanding this article. It looks really great. Mr Ernie (talk) 13:42, 11 September 2018 (UTC)


 * ALT2: ... that passersby in Luitpoldpark, Munich, can get soaked when a figure on the Pumuckl fountain (pictured) spits intermittently?


 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. Striking ALT0 as uninspiring and approving ALT1. I have also added ALT2 based on Gerda's suggestion, but somebody else wioll need to approve that hook. The article is neutral and free from policy issues. A QPQ has been done.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg	ALT2 is a far better hook, so I've struck the others. ALT2 foreign-language hook ref AGF (though it checks out with Google Translate) and cited inline. Image is freely licensed. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
