  • I'm sorry, I don't find this hook hooky. Many royal families marry into each other. The hook says nothing about the subject. Yoninah (talk) 23:06, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
  • The C of E, thank you so much for taking the time to complete this review of this hook and article for DYK--it is much appreciated! Yoninah, I will work on crafting a different hook in the meantime per your suggestion. Please let me know if you have any ideas for a suggested hook. -- West Virginian (talk) 15:14, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi West Virginian, I read the article and I'm wondering, why is she notable? The entire article reads like a society column – who are her forebears, who she's related to, who she married. The lead should be shortened and focus on her notability. Yoninah (talk) 21:16, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi Yoninah, and thank you again for your further review and for your additional comments and guidance. I have made some additional changes, per your guidance, to the lede of the article. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions in the meantime. -- West Virginian (talk) 05:29, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you for tweaking the lead. Regarding the hook, ALT1 is the most hooky. Let's go with that. Offline hook refs AGF and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:20, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
