Great work here. There are no problems. Both hooks are fine, and are properly established in the article. If the photo is used, the white border should be cropped. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 11:46, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, while both hooks are fine, the first hook seems most interesting. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 11:49, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the review! I've gone ahead cropped the image. Ploni^💬 12:56, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
