This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts for ALT3 are cited inline, and this is much the most interesting hook for a general reader. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:25, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review! — Emperork (talk) 18:53, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but there are really too many hook facts in ALT3 to read comfortably. Could you suggest a shorter and snappier hook? Yoninah (talk) 20:47, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Yoninah! I trimmed down the hook. Can you check it out if it would suffice. Thanks! — Emperork (talk) 21:02, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. But I think you can make this less narrative and more hooky this way:
- ALT4: ... that Mayor of Cebu City Edgardo Labella survived the 1998 sinking of a passenger ferry during Typhoon Vicki, staying afloat for 36 hours in a life vest? Yoninah (talk) 19:35, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Since I wrote the hook, we need another reviewer for ALT4. Pinging original reviewer @Cwmhiraeth:. Yoninah (talk) 10:56, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
