Two interesting hooks. The article is well reffed, on many reliable sources, as are the hooks. Its neutral and I see no close paraphrasing. There is is no image (but I have asked for one to be licensed on Flickr). Very well written article. Thanks for the contribution Sammi. Victuallers (talk) 10:54, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
