  • ... that Brizlincote in Burton upon Trent, England, was formerly known as "Little Switzerland" by locals? Source: "The Valley had even affectionately been known as ‘Little Switzerland’, such was its charm" from: "History of the Parish". Brizlincote Parish Council. Retrieved 24 August 2022.

  • Article was recently expanded and is eligible. No copyvio concerns. Hook is properly cited. I'm inclined to approve, but first, does the given source state why it was called "Little Switzerland"? If so, that could be an interesting expansion on the hook. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 02:37, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Hi Krisgabwoosh, this is what the source says: "(The Valley had even affectionately been known as ‘Little Switzerland’, such was its charm). Burtonians have many fond memories of hill walking, sledging, cross country runs, picnics, fishing, kite flying and model planes in the fields and valleys, near the brook, by the ponds and along the ancient lanes of Brizlincote.", which I have summarised in the article as "for its charm and recreational use by townsfolk" - Dumelow (talk) 06:40, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
  • So, then, how would you feel about: Krisgabwoosh (talk) 06:45, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that Brizlincote in Burton upon Trent, England, was formerly known as "Little Switzerland" for its charm and recreational use by locals?
Promoter's note to @Krisgabwoosh: this is really something that comes down to the style of the reviewer, but I know that I generally prefer to leave the "why" out of the hook. Why?
Reason
Well, users are willing to reach a little further to figure out why – maybe click a button or two :) leaving something to be desired, making the user want to know more, can inspire them to click the article and learn more than they would have learned if they'd just read the hook. And that's kinda what we're all about!
I'll promote this one anyway, but I thought that might be something you keep in mind going forward. No pressure; cheers! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:20, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
