- Comment: @CAPTAIN MEDUSA: I fixed the grammar of your hooks, and added sources, which are required for DYK. I've contributed too much to the article to do a full review, so will leave that for another editor. Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 15:06, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. Much appreciated. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 15:08, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
Date and length both OK. ALT1 is a marvellous hook and much better than the original, the notion of calling Bill Gates using a bench is certainly going to get views. QPQ done with no close paraphrasing (though I personally would prefer the text split into sections rather than just paragraphs). As for the picture, I think the hook should certainly run with it as it is appropriately licenced. I don't think it needs cropping @CAPTAIN MEDUSA: but maybe it could do with a little enlarging. Good to go otherwise. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:20, 30 June 2020 (UTC)- Comment I certainly agree about ALT1, that'd be my preference as well.
