• BCP, you're absolutely right about there being too much "that" in the original hook, therefore I prefer your ALT1. Thank you for the suggestion! --Caponer (talk) 20:58, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

• Full review needed of article and of ALT1 hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:07, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook is sourced and the image is in the public domain. Going with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:48, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
