The Fox, the Wolf and the Husbandman

  • Hook checks out, as does the creation date, article length, and citations. Very well done article. My only suggestion is that a more interesting hook might be found. — AJDS talk 13:47, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Did you know#The_hook states "If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way." Plot of the story cannot be promoted as a hook. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:44, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Fair enough. Not the biggest knowledge on DYK policy. Would just be happy with the first hook then. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 18:08, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
But the original hook "poem is from this book" is not really interesting. Can you work out something from the source section? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:46, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
ALT3: ... that a possible source for the poem The Fox, the Wolf and the Husbandman, by the 15th-century Scottish poet Robert Henryson, was Aesop's Fables as published by William Caxton? MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 14:58, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
  • for ALT3 based on original review. This is a much better one. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:11, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
