 * Donated an alternate hook which I prefer:
 * ALT2:... that the mayfly has come to symbolise the transitiveness and brevity of life? Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 01:42, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I am happy with ALT2, but I don't believe that you can approve your own hook proposal. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:10, 15 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Restored thread. New reviewer needed both for ALT2 and to provide a more comprehensive review per  DYK Reviewing guide. Yoninah (talk) 14:42, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg GA approved three days before DYK nomination. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT2 offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Image is freely-licensed. QPQ done. Nice article! ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:19, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
