Comment: Alt hooks provided in case we don't want to make such a bold claim in ALT0.

Created by TCMemoire (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 12 past nominations.

Comment not review @TCMemoire:, claiming "first and only" in a hook is risky: apparently the de:Deutsches Taubenmuseum (German Pigeon Museum) in Nuremberg opened in 1992. Admittedly its scope is different. TSventon (talk) 18:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon: Good spot, thank you. Funny how they both seem to claim to be the first/only. I will remove the claims from the article and strike the first hook. – T C Memoire 21:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New enough, long enough, and properly sourced. QPQ done. Interesting enough hooks, verified. Earwig is still unavailable but spot-checking found no copyvio. I agree with the removal of ALT0; "first" hooks are often problematic and this seems to be no exception. I like ALT2 better than ALT1, but both are ok; this can be decided at a later stage of DYK preparation. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
