... that Gaius Hospes was legally required to wear his award for valour at all public gatherings and to be applauded by every person present? Source: Maxfield, Valerie, A., The Military Decorations of the Roman Army (1981) Berkeley (Calif.) University of California Press. ISBN 9780520044999 p. 148

Comment: Other suggestions for hooks welcomed.

Improved to Good Article status by Gog the Mild (talk). Self-nominated at 22:42, 22 July 2018 (UTC).

The article was promoted to GA status, and was nominated for DYK in due tieme. It is long enough, neutral and cites sources inline. Copyvio can not be chaecked due to offline sources I have no access for. The hook is well-formatted and is interesting. Its length is within limit. Its fact is referenced with offline source. I AGF for it. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 11:56, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

@Gog the Mild:

I don't see the "legally required" part in the article itself; also, as it says in the article, you should probably add "expected" after "and", just to make it clear. Unless it is a legal requirement; if so, make it clear in the article. RileyBugz^{私に叫ぼう}_私の編集 23:26, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

@RileyBugz: Apologies. A couple of hours ago while researching a different article I came across a new source and made this edit. 39 minutes before your post. Coming back to this article was to suggest an alt and discuss it with the reviewer was on my to do list. I would suggest:

ALT1 ... that when Gaius Hospes wore his award for valour at public gatherings it was expected that he be applauded by every person present?

Should I notify the original reviewer so they can relook at it? And apologies for the (very) late change. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:52, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

ALT1 – No need to notify the original reviewer; the article hasn't changed singificantly, so I can just approve the hook myself without going through another complete review. But, I won't promote it, because that's basically doing something with a conflict-of-interest. RileyBugz^{私に叫ぼう}_私の編集 00:02, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
