  • Date, hook and length look good.It's good to go.  FITINDIA  13:19, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
  • @Northamerica1000: I was looking to promote this, but thought that a more interesting hook would be
  • ALT1 ... that soldiers in the American Civil War referred to cheese and crackers as a "square meal"? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:05, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
  • That's fine by me. Adding new review needed marker for the new alt. Pinging Fitindia in hopes that the alt can also be reviewed. North America1000 17:02, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
  • No copyright issues and is neutral. The QPQ is done.  FITINDIA  04:54, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not see the ALT1 hook fact in the source. The source describes the soldiers' meal and then says that "more than one clever wit" called it a "square meal". It doesn't say who the "clever wit" was; it could have been a journalist, too. Yoninah (talk) 22:07, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: I have added the following sources listed below to the article to further verify. Another option is to skip the ALT and just go with the initial hook. North America1000 22:20, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

  • Thank you. I also think we should go with the first hook. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:34, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
