- Hi Template:U, I will review these soon. epicgenius (talk) 15:21, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Wallace Oak (Elderslie) Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
Wallace Oak (Port Glasgow) Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
Wallace Oak (Torwood) Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
Hi, apologies but I've reopening this one as I have there appears to be an issue with it - the hook says that the three trees are "named after" William Wallace, but when I look at the articles only the third one Wallace Oak (Torwood) actually explicitly mentions that the name is "Wallace Oak" and that it is named after William. Similar cited lines, to explicitly say that the trees are named after him, are also required for Wallace Oak (Elderslie) and Wallace Oak (Port Glasgow). Thanks.

- The sources don't explicitly say the tree was named after Wallace, as I suspect it was too obvious (they refer to the Wallace stories associated with the trees and call the trees "Wallace Oak"). If this is an issue I suggest an alternative hook, though it loses something, I think - Dumelow (talk) 14:31, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that oak trees associated with William Wallace stood in Elderslie (pictured), Port Glasgow and Torwood in Scotland?
- I think ALT1 is okay as well, since it only says what's already mentioned in the article. epicgenius (talk) 16:50, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Pinging Amakuru; I think, since you pulled the original hook, it would be best if you were the one to say whether ALT1 addresses all the issues you had. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:05, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
