Paul2520 — Thanks for your prompt review. As sort of an unspoken rule I never include more than two links in a hook, esp since I was once taken to task for it some time ago. In this case 'Mother Goose' is pretty much a common knowledge topic, however, it is linked in the article. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 19:05, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gwillhickers: OK! Nice work, by the way :-) = paul2520 💬 19:11, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
