Meets all the requirements of newness, size, sourcing, no plagiarism, grammar, neutrality, and QPQ. Offline source is accepted in good faith. Recommending promotion of ALT0 as it is the more interesting of the two hooks and describes the naming of the species. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:38, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
