Comment: The hooks aren't direct quotes; however, I did my best to model the wording after the originals. Thank you for your time!

Good work! New enough (as a recent Good Article), long enough, QPQ not needed, within policy, Earwig finds no copyvios. Hook facts check out (ALT1 on AGF), but each needs a wikilink to the main article in boldface. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antony-22 (talk • contribs) 23:17, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Original hook and
