Coral Bell
... that Henry Kissinger wrote that "the Australian scholar Coral Bell has brilliantly described America's challenge: to recognise its own pre-eminence but to conduct its policy as if it were still living in a world of many centres of power"? Source: [1] page 22

– @Michael D. Turnbull – The article is new enough (moved from Draft:Coral Bell on August 11, 2021) and long enough (4158 characters). It has inline citations, and Earwig's copyvio detector detects 17.4% similarity (violation unlikely). However, the hook is 238 characters long. The maximum limit on hook's length in 200 characters. The hook is cited in the nomination as well as in the article, but I doubt whether it is interesting to a broad audience. I'll suggest to add some ALT hooks. Thanks for nominating the article. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:48, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Doh! I was aware of the limit on hook length but used MS Word to do the character count. It turns out that its "number of characters" field excludes spaces! I don't think that my original hook is salvageable (except by removing everything after the colon). ALT1 looks good, thanks, DragonflySixtyseven and I'll add ALT2.

- ALT1: ... that Coral Bell described the United States–China relations as a "shadow condominium", in that they collaborate during times of crisis but are adversaries otherwise? DS (talk) 15:58, 14 August 2021 (UTC) Source:1
- ALT2: ... that in 1947 Ric Throssell tried unsuccessfully to recruit Coral Bell as a Soviet spy in Canberra? Source: [2] page 13
– The issues are now addressed. QPQ is not required. ALT 1 and 2 are approved. Good to go. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:54, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
