England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity

Created by Fiamh (talk). Self-nominated at 17:19, 14 October 2019 (UTC).

Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

Template:Ping

  • I think ALT0 is already in the text: Template:Tq. If you want I could change "do nothing" to "inaction", but I would consider them synonymous.
  • I'm not sure ALT1 needs attribution; frequently quotes in DYK hooks run without for space reasons. It's not an extraordinary claim and it's printed in an a high-quality academic source.
  • A version of ALT3 with attribution: ALT3b ... that an article in Irish America claimed that the motto "England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity" "didn't always work successfully for the Irish"?

  • Template:Re No problem. I didn't read closely and see that "inaction" and "do nothing" are synonyms. ALT1 is fine as is, in light of your comments. Symbol confirmed.svg I'm approving ALT0, ALT1, ALT3b and ALT2, with a preference for the first three hooks. epicgenius (talk) 03:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
