Length, date of expansion, and sources OK. The hook is interesting, but might be improved if it was less wordy. @4meter4: What do you think? AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk) 18:17, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I can't think of a way to shorten it but am open open to suggestions.4meter4 (talk) 18:20, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

@4meter4: I added ALT1, does that work? AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk) 18:41, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Works for me. It will have to be approved by another reviewer, even though it is the same hook fact.4meter4 (talk) 18:48, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

@4meter4: Yeah, maybe it's worth just going for Alt0 so we can avoid the backlog. AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk) 18:59, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

The promoter could always approve it I guess, since it is simply a word alteration of the same fact. Promoters do occasionally trim hooks so it wouldn't entirely be out of their scope.4meter4 (talk) 19:05, 24 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

FWIW, I much prefer Alt1 to Alt0 vipavipa
