This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and Earwig detected no problems. I find the hook quite incomprehensible - is this an American versus British English problem, I wonder? Let's ask Template:Ping what he thinks of it. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:30, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
- I definitely do not understand it. The Rambling Man (talk) 05:40, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
- It's a play on a "pendulum spring." Informally, "to spring" can mean "to pay for; treat someone to." Mackensen (talk) 12:00, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
- OK, that's an explanation, but I think the meaning is too obscure and that we need a different hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:32, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
