Hooks are of appropriate length and are adequately cited. I find ALT0 more interesting. Just a thought: would it be better to also Wikilink the IRA? It might not be an obvious term to all worldwide readers.
QPQ is done.
Article is almost good to go—do you want to take the Wikilink suggestion? Also, one other note: though this is not relevant to the hook, I notice the article says that £10,000 of stolen money was found at Newforge, but both sources seem to say it was a total of £50,000, packaged in five units of £10,000 each. Unless I've misunderstood something, I think that figure should be changed in the article. Armadillopteryxtalk11:05, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Armadillopteryx: I have amended the article. I'd personally prefer not to link the ira partially on WP:OLINK but also I think the fact I've spelled out PSNI makes it clear it's Northern Ireland and the ira are generally understood to be connected with terrorist activities there so I think the majority would understand it.

Thanks for updating the article. I don't feel too strongly about the Wikilink, but just to share my perspective, I don't think it would be overlinking at all. I'm not from the UK or Ireland, and my school curriculum contained exactly nothing about the IRA or recent history in the UK. Though I work full-time in academia (unrelated field), my only knowledge of the IRA comes from media (and I suspect that probably more than 50% of my native country have never heard of the IRA). I'm not even sure if the appropriate Wikilink is Irish Republican Army or Provisional Irish Republican Army, since my knowledge doesn't extend past what the acronym stands for and that it was associated with terrorism in the UK/Ireland in the '90s.

That said, whether or not that term is linked is not a criterion for promotion, so the article is good to go either way. Armadillopteryxtalk 21:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
