hook is interesting, but while sourced, it's not in the article. Hook has to be in the article as well. Moreover, but I need confirmation here, I'm not sure the "is planted with" is grammatically correct (but this is a second issue to the first). --Elisa.rolle (talk) 01:03, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- Template:Ping, thank you for reviewing the article but have you read it? The hook is in the article, it says: "The square was planted with ginkgo bilobas, which were presented by Emperor Meiji to his German counterpart [either William I or William II, depending of the source]; those trees still stand today." (end of second paragraph of section Description and history). Edelseider (talk) 07:08, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
