New enough, long enough, referenced, inline hook is also referenced. I have minor issues though. (1) Why is Sheep's fescue put in quotation marks in the proposed hook if it's not in quotation marks in the article on Markwick? (2) There shouldn't be any redirects in main page DYKs, so "Sheep's fescue" should be pipe-linked directly to its redirect article, Festuca ovina. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:34, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
- The paragraph in the article makes it clear that Markwick did not get the species of grass that he ordered, but something else. Hence, the hook says "Sheep's fescue" in quotes, meaning "he thought it was that kind, but it wasn't really". It's the whole point of the hook - if we spell it out it will be awfully dull. I've piped the link to F. ovina. Hope that's all right now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:27, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
