Interesting group, on fine sources, few offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, and a good illustration, but it needs a connection in the hook by (pictured) somewhere. I'd like a bit more of lead but it's not needed. The hook is a bit long, - how about dropping the branches? - Thank you for the article, Lajmmoore! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:04, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks @Gerda Arendt: - I'm happy with the changes you suggest - do I edit the above? (Sorry, new to the DYK system!) (Lajmmoore (talk) 14:15, 29 June 2020 (UTC))
- Nice to meet you! No, better write a new one below, called ALT1, prepared, and use some kind of pictured exactly as given, also prepared. I can't prepare the whole thing for you, or someone picky might come and say it's "my" hook, and I can't also review it ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:21, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

... that the Wrens of the Curragh group of sex workers (members pictured) who lived in 'nests' hollowed from the ground covered in branches next to Curragh Camp in 19th century Ireland?(Lajmmoore (talk) 07:35, 9 July 2020 (UTC))- What I may do is fix grammar, and that otherwise good suggestion has no verb ;)
- ALT1a:
... that the Wrens of the Curragh group of sex workers (members pictured) lived in 'nests', hollowed from the ground covered in branches, near Curragh Camp in 19th century Ireland? - ALT1b: ... that the Wrens of the Curragh group of sex workers (members pictured) lived in 'nests' hollowed from the ground near Curragh Camp in the 19th century?
I approve those two, - let me know what you prefer, and the prep builder may have the ultimate choice. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
