  • Both articles moved from userspace less than five days before nominated, sizeable, hook sourced. I have a question though: what's a publican? Is it this? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:40, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
  • No, check out the first definition of publican in wiktionary. Shall we link the hook to wiktionary? English isn't my first language, so I'm not sure whether 'publican' is a term specific to NZ or British English, but unknown in the US, say. Schwede66 10:04, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Okay, thanks for the explanation. I'm American and I've never heard the word before. Given it's British English, according to the wiktionary, and since we're looking for the global audience, I think it's best to drop the word. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:10, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks, ALT1 is good. Schwede66 17:07, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
