 * Symbol confirmed.svg I think that is certainly an interesting fact. The article is eligible because it passed GA review on March 16. The Copyvio tool shows that only quotes have been copied word-for-word. The QPQ is currently pending. Last but not least, everything, including this hook, has a citation. I think this is good to go.--12george1 (talk) 22:33, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Can you indicate which of the two hooks you're referring to? Daniel Case (talk) 05:13, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Both of them are good, but actually I like second one better--12george1 (talk) 04:03, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this. ALT1 is so full of blue links that I was thinking of promoting ALT0. But there's no cite for it being the band's only hit; you might also want to add that fact to the page One-hit wonder. Yoninah (talk) 18:58, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The first link says that the song was the band's only hit. Thanks for your help!MagicatthemovieS (talk) 19:31, 4 April 2019 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS
