• Images are fine too. Good to go, though I prefer the grammar in my ALT3, as it seems clearer. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:59, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review (you do a heck of a lot of work for this project). I take it you mean ALT2, and it needs some more attention, as there's a bit of a double up. I struck out some superfluous words, but your preference might be to choose the other option of using the words that are in the hook. Schwede66 18:38, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

• Darn, you're right. I've cut the extraneous text. Regarding possible alts, I am a little iffy with the tense agreement (maybe because I'm not from NZ); I'd expect to see "despite being" and not "although being". Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:07, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

• Re tense agreement, you also need to keep in mind that English isn't my first language. If it doesn't sound quite right, chances are it's because of that. Schwede66 00:35, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
