- @MRN2electricboogaloo: Hi, welcome to the list of DYK reviewers (though I'm not sure if such a list exist! :) ). Perhaps the most important point raised by you is the sourcing issue. I have replaced the contents belonging to the Daily Express with a more reliable source. What about the following hook:
- ALT1:... that Knocking on wood is the most popular superstition in Britain with 'crossing fingers for good luck' coming after it, according to two independent surveys in the UK?
- Best. I will do the QPQ within the coming days. --Mhhossein talk 13:43, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Mhhossein: Thanks! Barring the lack of QPQ, this article should be ready to go. I did make a couple minor edits, but I’m pretty sure that’s fine. MRN2electricboogaloo (talk) 05:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- Mhhossein we're still waiting on the QPQ. Also, let me suggest a shorter variation:
- ALT1a:... that according to two surveys, Knocking on wood and 'crossing fingers for good luck' are the most popular superstitions in Britain?

- I like your suggestion RoySmith. Btw, QPQ was provided some days ago. --Mhhossein talk 06:41, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
