Created by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 14:22, 30 November 2019 (UTC).

• At the time of its nomination, it was new enough and long enough. Passes the earwig test. The hook needs some work. --evrik ^(talk) 18:51, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. Johnbod (talk) 18:56, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

• Okay, well maybe someone else will approve the hook as it is. --evrik ^(talk) 19:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

• New reviewer needed to see whether the hook is fine as is, or a new or newly revised hook is needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:48, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

• Hook looks good to me, is in the book. It could perhaps use a simpler word than 'exhorted', but I don't see this as a big issue, and it is one that is often dealt with in rephrasing by the promoters in my experience. Kingsif (talk) 17:25, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

• "urged" would be fine - this is in a poem he wrote. Johnbod (talk) 20:24, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
