Interesting station, on exquisite sourcs, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and tells more than 1000 words, but please add (pictured) to the original hook which I find most interesting, more unusual than the others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:18, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I typically don't add (pictured) to hooks because the image is optional, and the promoter could choose to add that text if the image is used. But I have added that text to all the hooks now. Epicgenius (talk) 14:57, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
