  • GA, long enough, no copyvio spotted, QPQ done, image free and used in article. Looking at proposed hooks, ALT0: looks fine although probably the least interesting of the three. ALT1: hook is interesting and fits well with image, but I don't find such comparison to cobra in given source, nor in article itself? ALT2: I am somewhat unsure about wording of the hook which talks about specific incident, in comparison to article which discusses the issue on general terms.--Staberinde (talk) 11:30, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
