• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I amalgamated a couple of paragraphs in the article so that they would not fall foul of the "at least one citation per paragraph" rule. A QPQ has been done.

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but it would be so much hookier if you mention that the recipient was his twin brother. Yoninah (talk) 21:59, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: Many thanks for that suggestion. I've added it as ALT 1 and managed to keep it within the character limit. Papamac (talk) 08:46, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you. I tightened it a bit. Cwmhiraeth, could you review ALT1? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 11:27, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

• Approving ALT1, though I removed the mention of "identical" in the hook because it was not in the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:21, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
