Comment: I may add more hooks later

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 15:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC).[reply]

This is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, either hook could be used and I have added ALT1a, which is ALT1 rephrased. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:48, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
