The hook sounds too simple. As a reader I am not interested at all after reading it. Please think of a more interesting hook for reconsideration.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 08:08, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that warships routinely visit Dartmouth Harbour? --Rosiestep (talk) 16:42, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Original hook checks out but I'm struggling with ALT1 given the reference used in the article. I agree that ALT1 is more interesting. Any other suggestions? One reference (in the Features section) is labelled as potentially unreliable/unbalanced and it may be better to remove the small piece of text associated with that. Everything else checks out including the image. violet/riga _^[talk] 22:19, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I removed the ref and sentence in Features section labelled as potentially unreliable/unbalanced. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:55, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

• ALT2 ... that an artillery blockhouse was built in 1481 to protect Dartmouth Harbour? --Rosiestep (talk) 04:55, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

• ALT2 checks out and is the preferred hook. violet/riga _^[talk] 19:39, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
