- Comment: Not my greatest hook ideas in the world. ALT0 is probably just stupid and ALT3 is a morbid joke about taking a cannonball to the face.

Hi Hog Farm, review follows: article promoted to GA on 26 June; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; most sources are offline but there's no copyright violation from those that are online; hooks are interesting and mentioned in the article; hooks are cited to offline sources for which I am happy to AGF; I think I prefer ALT2 but any would work; a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 06:57, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
