I will review another April Fools hook at some point to satisfy the QPQ requirement. Resolute 05:02, 23 January 2013 (UTC) - Reviewed Jumbo Glacier, British Columbia Resolute 21:02, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Doesn't sound like there was much combat. The interview makes it sound as if it was a quick zip, kill, take 'er home. Also, the paraphrasing on this bit of the article is a little close: compare "lash his sheath knife to a boat hook and lunged" and "lashed his sheath knife to a boat hook, and in one lunge" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
- No, but since this is intended to be an April Fools entry, I took a loose interpretation of combat for effect. Something along the lines of how you still get a fighting major penalty in hockey if your opponent drops you before you even throw a punch. ;) I have reworded that passage, however.

Alright, good to go. New enough, long enough, hook is interesting, haven't found any paraphrasing that gives me pause. You should move this back to the subpage now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:03, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
- I hope it's not too late for me to suggest an alternative hook. What do you think of the following? Prioryman (talk) 01:04, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
