 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is long enough, uses in-line citations, is neutrally written and was nominated the same day as being created. Spot-checking does not find issues with plagiarism, copyvio, or unduly close paraphrasing. The image has an appropriate license. QPQ is complete. Both hooks are short enough, neutral, cited and interesting. I would go with ALT1 as it is more broad appeal, but will leave it up to the promoter. Good to go. Great job! – Ianblair23 (talk) 23:37, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this to the April 10 prep, but note that ALT1 is inaccurate both here and in the article. The Cubs lose $30 million in advertising annually because they can't use the perimeter walls for advertising signs – because that would block the view of watchtowers and viewers outside the park. It has nothing to do with the ivy, and the source (ESPN) doesn't mention the ivy at all. The source is talking about the outer walls, not the outfield walls. Please fix this in the article. Should I go ahead and promote the original hook, even without an image? Yoninah (talk) 16:07, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I have made the change and I am happy for the original to be promoted. Personally I would prefer it if we could use the image please.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 21:19, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
