    • Thank you for the edits to the article. Apologies for those very silly mistakes. Those two hooks look good. Thank you for the suggestions as those are always appreciated. As I said in my note, I am not the best at all about finding a good hook. Aoba47 (talk) 02:24, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Article recently taken to GA by the nominator. All the hooks (including the additions by theleekycauldron) are cited properly and interesting enough. No sign of copyvio. QPQ done. This should be good to go IMO. FrB.TG (talk) 17:30, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing this. I would more than happy with any of the proposed hooks being used. I do not have a strong preference either way. Aoba47 (talk) 17:52, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
