This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I made some alterations to the article, based on the source used and research elsewhere. I have rewritten the hook as ALT1. A QPQ is needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:33, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/WKXL. ALT1 is fine, but should perhaps be down here? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:54, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved the ALT1 hook down. Thanks for doing the QPQ. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:29, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
