• New enough, long enough, within policy, QPQ done. I made a slight amendment to the hook to ensure within 200 characters. Onceinawhile (talk) 11:23, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

@Onceinawhile: Thanks. Just wondering why you struck the first hook? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:01, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Philafrenzy: two reasons: (1) because I like the picture, which doesn't work with the first hook; and (2) because the topic of encumbered estates is quite niche and the example in ALT1 brought it to life. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:08, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

@Onceinawhile: Thanks. Can you approve the first hook too just in case? Philafrenzy (talk) 18:02, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Sure, approved. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:36, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
