 * ALT1: ... that twin cities of Mikuszowice and Komorowice were divided by a state border for hundreds of years, but are now unified in one country, separated only by a river?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg New articles, more than long enough. QPQ not required (first time self nomination).  Clearly notable Well referenced and supported by more than ample sources.  I do not have access to the offline sources (and I don't speak or read Polish), but given the extensive citations and the woof and weave of the fabric (discourse) in the two articles, I think we should WP:AGF. Hook length checks out.  As to the length of the alternative hook, since this is a two-banger it would be alright.  Have asked the author if he agrees with it, and that response is pending.  My plagiarism checker is not functioning (sorry!), so I could not check for copyvio or close paraphrasing.  Latest hook and article are neutral, and interesting and directly referenced (although sorting through the history is a long road and a deep read). I would appreciate it if somebody would check for copy vios, although I think there are none.  But I don't want this to bite me in the ass.  If we are going with the alternate hooks (which I think is hookier—have now added ALT2), I suppose we need somebody to do a review of it. Otherwise, the original hook has reliable sources (see maps below). 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 23:53, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
 * In the alternate hook I would call them twin settlements rather than twin cities. Regarding to the offline sources: those are the books I used. I can provide scans of the referenced pages if anybody would wish me to (e.g. map #1, map #2). D_T_ G ( P  L ) 09:26, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that twin settlements of Mikuszowice and Komorowice were divided by a state border for hundreds of years, but are now unified in one country, separated only by a river? 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 10:42, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thanks for your response. Proposed Alt 2 using "twin settlements".  I knew that these were books, and certainly meant no disparagement.  I WP:AGF. I would suppose that ALT2 needs a blessing from another reviewer.
 * I see you linked Biała River, I guess I (I'm he, btw.) could reference it too a bit, should anyone like to click it too... D_T_ G ( P  L ) 12:59, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * ANOTHER REVIEWER NEEDED! 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎</b>) 10:42, 30 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Need new reviewer to check ALT2, as noted above, and maybe ALT1 as well. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:38, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
