• ... that the modern wind industry considers the Gedser wind turbine design to be seminal?

• Length and date ok, but QPQ still pending. As per the hook, it is not what the article says. The article says "Its design was considered seminal for the modern wind industry" (italics added), not whom made the consideration. I would suggest an ALT1 like :"... that the 1957 Gedser wind turbine was included in the Danish Culture Canon in 2006?" --Soman (talk) 09:54, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

• Rewording per Soman's remarks with ALT1: ... that the design of the Gedser wind turbine was considered seminal for the modern wind industry? --Rosiestep (talk)

• Ipigott offers ALT2: ... that the innovative Danish design of the Gedser wind turbine was a major breakthrough in the development of wind turbines? --Rosiestep (talk) 22:09, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

• Both ALT1 and ALT2 hooks need to be reviewed; original hook has been struck due to issues noted above; QPQ has been supplied. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:56, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

• I think I would go with ALT1, I'm not sure the sources support the "major breakthrough" statement in ALT2. Gatoclass (talk) 15:03, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
