- I think the suggested hook is better than the original one. It says the same thing, but more concisely and more to the point. JIP | Talk 04:22, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: ~~Missing one cite.~~ Earwig result is an incredible zero. AGF on sources, as they are in Finnish and I am monolingual. ALT1 hook is shorter and punchier than original hook; even so, ALT0 is nearly too long. Article will be GTG when cite is supplied. Georgejdorner (talk) 00:31, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
