• Striking ALT0, as it is too vague and subjective. How is "success" measured? Striking ALT2 and ALT3 because they are not phrased as a question, and again subjective characterization as "succesful". buidhe 00:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Remove strikes. put in question marks. You could have done that too, User:Buidhe 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:05, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

"Successful" is a subjective criterion and should never be used unattributed in a DYK hook or for that matter, a WP article. Restored strikes because this aspect was never addressed. buidhe 12:08, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Consider changing in the hook the words the Sea Harrier to a short take-off and vertical landing jet fighter and then linking those words to British Aerospace Sea Harrier.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:18, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

In my suggestion maybe even just link "jet fighter" to British Aerospace Sea Harrier.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:35, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

• Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:56, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

• This article is new enough and long enough. Approving ALT1 and ALT4, with or without Doug Coldwell's suggestion. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:58, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
