• This is my first time doing a DYK review, so apologies if I do something wrong! This all looks good to me though. Both hooks are fine, but I'd be inclined to go with ALT0 one as it's more precise.

Thank you for the review, Kj cheetham. I think you meant that you prefer ALT1, but if not, please would you kindly clarify, for the promoter? Just to be clear, the first hook is usually called ALT0, and the second hook is ALT1, because it is the first alternative. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 15:44, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Storye book, I did mean ALT0, as long ton is more precise than just ton, but it's not a strong preference. -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
