- Hi Bogger, here is my review. The article meets newness and length requirements, QPQ is not required. Well sourced for a relatively short article. I have no problem with policy or formatting issues. Now for the hook: as far as I can tell, the three hooks are the same with subtle differences in links and parenthesis. I would favour ALT2 at the moment as it contains the most clarity, but because the university is still only planned, and not yet open, I would change it to:
- ALT3:... that Munster Technological University (MTU), will be only the second university of its type in Ireland?
- I think this is mildly interesting, but perhaps something involving having six campuses or the design awards won would be more interesting to the reader. (If you don't want to come up with any further hooks, consider ALT3 GTG.) Rcsprinter123 (spiel) 19:45, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- because the number of campuses is a matter for debate, and the architectural awards relate more to the legacy institutions, I'm fine with @Rcsprinter123:'s ALT3
