  • New, long enough, in time, sourced, inline hook citation checks out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done, image is appropriately licensed. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:03, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but do not understand why it's hooky. It's just "Did you know that X = Y". Yoninah (talk) 20:44, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
    A hook is supposed to be "short, punchy, catchy, and likely to draw the readers in to wanting to read the article". I think that the Apollo 11 Moon landing is of sufficient interest to tempt the reader to click on the link. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Perhaps, if the target article was Apollo 11. Isn't there anything else you can say about the subject? Yoninah (talk) 20:54, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • So let someone else promote it. Yoninah (talk) 21:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Right. Well, there's really nothing else to say about this person. Restoring Usernameunique's tick. Yoninah (talk) 14:19, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
