  • Cwmhiraeth, is the tweak to the hook okay? Sorry for the ping, I'm headed out of town tomorrow and will likely be without internet for the next week, trying to get my ducks in a row! --valereee (talk) 12:17, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
  • Valereee I don't see a tweak to the hook, but if you are referring to the tweaks you made to the articles, well then, yes they are OK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:46, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth, I meant changing the hook to "much of" North Africa instead of "the whole of" --valereee (talk) 12:54, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Valereee I'm with you now, and have made the suggested tweak. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:09, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
good to go! --valereee (talk) 13:13, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
