 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, has citations, hook is cited and accepted AGF, ready to go. I prefer Alt1. Moonraker (talk) 05:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, while I respect Piotrus as an editor and value greatly his work, in this case the hook is incorrect (I created the article about Neoslavism on Polish wiki a couple of years ago, hence my interest). Neoslavism was opposed to creation of single Slavic state. Perhaps a change to "democratic community of Slavic nations" would be better?

 * Thanks for catching that; it seems like a reasonable correction. I approve of ALT1, through we will need the reviewer tlook at this again, so I'll ping User:Moonraker. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:28, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, Yes, to be frank it was I who added Alt1 before approving it. The sources were offline, but I felt sure that both the Poles and the Czechs must have been opposed to trying to create a single Slav state, so I thought we might have a translation problem. I rather suspect "democratic community of Slavic nations" is about right. I wonder, could one of you add a citation which actually quotes at the end of it the words used by the offline source? I prefer English but can live with Polish. Moonraker (talk) 22:20, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Majority of sources are online and accessible through Google Books (if it doesn't work in your country, use a proxy set for US). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:37, 26 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Since reviewers may not approve their own hooks, someone else needs to approve ALT1, or a new ALT that uses the "democratic community of Slavic nations" wording. I've struck the original hook as incorrect. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:21, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Given that the wording of the hook is controversial, it would be appropriate to add a quotation from refs 8, 11, or 12. Otherwise, its content might be treated (by me or by anyone else) as original research. As a sidenote, I don't see the hook explicitly appearing in the article.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 13:13, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * @User:Jetstreamer. Fair enough, the federation claim wasn't that well referenced. I added more refs and quotes. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:44, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for adding references. I now see the quotation in ref number 14 as a paraphrasing of the hook. The only comment I have is that there are five references supporting a single sentence, which falls under WP:CITEKILL, but that can be improved later with an expansion. We're done with this. Good to go.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 10:48, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
