• Comment: Your hooks need to include a link to the relevant article. I've fixed ALT2, but you need to shoehorn the article name or a synonym for it into ALT1 and ALT0. ALT1 is also above the 200 character limit. buidhe 06:22, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you, this is my first time doing this. I'll see what I can do. CThomas³ (talk) 21:19, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

• I've updated both hooks to contain a link to the article and reduced ALT1 to 200 characters. Thank you for the feedback. CThomas³ (talk) 00:22, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

• Very nicely written article! New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT1 looks like the hookiest of the lot; hook ref verified and cited inline. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 16:31, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
