- Hi Mindmatrix, review follows; article moved to mainspace 27 November; article exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing form the single online source; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by the source; both images suggested are free and a QPQ review has been carried out. No problems here - Dumelow (talk) 08:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Ping Thanks for the review. Can you provide an appropriate tick mark (or other symbol; see this list). Also, do you have an image preference from those I provided? Mindmatrix 12:52, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Sorry Mindmatrix I always seem to forget the icon! I prefer the interior shot but either works - Dumelow (talk) 13:07, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. The hook makes it sound like these were used as hostels for backpackers or something. Could we write:
