Sorry bout the last edit, I had my thick head on 
Hook is sourced, although given how famous this Fish thing was, you should find a better source than the Mirror. Good to go. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:35, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. After having the time to think I'm not sure that the original hook is the best, personally I think ALT1 is better. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:54, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Well, that is also sourced, but as it is in double Danish I will AGF on the translation, so still GTG. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:58, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
This is a very impressive article, but I count one section-expansion template, four citation needed templates, and two bare url refs (actually, one doesn't even show the url, it's just a number). These need to be addressed before the nomination can be promoted to the main page. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:52, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- I've sorted the issues. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:48, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
All three hooks are supported by inline sources; the two ALTs accepted AGF due to non-English sources. As I have no idea who Michael Fish is or why he should matter, I think the original hook is the least effective. Rest of approval per Darkness Shines above (article was new enough when submitted, and is definitely long enough). BlueMoonset (talk) 19:15, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
