Trimdon Labour Club

- Thanks for your review, Epicgenius. I have now improved the sourcing and condensed Alt-0 down to below 200 words. In consequence to this, I am ready to have it re-reviewed.
Thanks again for your help, PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 07:52, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
@PinkPanda272: No problem. This looks good to go now. epicgenius (talk) 13:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- @PinkPanda272 and Epicgenius: I came to promote this but there is no inline citation immediately after the quotation in the article, and the barmaid's remark does not seem to have been precisely what you quote in the hook. In fact the hook remark is different from the article remark, and both differ from the Northern Echo article (if that is the source you are using). If you use quotation marks, the quotation should be precisely as stated in the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

- Hi Cwmhiraeth, Thank you for your comments. I think I must of taken the quote that was on the page from a different article to the one that is referenced by the hook. I have added the inline citation and re-written the quote to match the one in the Northern Echo article. As for the hook, Alt-0 is currently around 195 words, and to change it to match the article would push it over the 200 word limit, hence why I had condensed the quote. I would appreciate your opinion on this, and if it cannot be properly quoted without infringing the word limit, then it may be sensible to promote Alt-1 instead. Thanks again, PinkPanda272 (talk/contribs) 11:53, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. I like the original hook better than ALT1. I have tweaked the hook and I reckon it is short enough, and this is now good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:55, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
