If it needs trimming down slightly, that's fine. Kosack (talk) 20:04, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes, it could do with trimming down but I couldn't think of a way to trim it down, so the slightly shorter ALT is better imo.EchetusXe 21:18, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

• Restoring tick for ALT1 per Echetus' review. Yoninah (talk) 23:36, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
