Very interesting well written, no copyvio, QPQ done and on theme intrestingly enough, hook is interesting. I trust that the source listed confirms this but did go and look for external sources and found that it's true. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @OlifanofmrTennant: Question! I was able to get a properly licensed image for the coin from a friend, as seen here. Would it be alright to include the image alongside the hook? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 03:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Generalissima: That would improve the hook add some context. Consider adding it to the article Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - It's been added to the article; I just wanted to include it as a picture alongside the hook. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 03:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
