  • No issues here, though the hook is a bit dull without going in further. Knowing these editors, I feel confident they can draw it out a bit more. Ceoil (talk) 19:05, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Suggesting the following ALT1 Hook.--Nvvchar. 09:39, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that Omani tribes are affiliated with either the Ghafiri or Hinawi alliances though a constant feature is the rivalry between the two groups?
  • Full review needed of both articles and the new hook, since the original review failed to state just which requirements were looked at. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:50, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Both articles are new enough, long enough, well-sourced, no close paraphrasing seen in sources. Two QPQs have been done. As for the hook, ALT2 is still a little flat. Rival tribes are nothing new. It seems more hooky to talk about how the centuries-old rivalry and blood feuds have come down to football rivalry today. (This would have to be added to the Ghafiri page.) Yoninah (talk) 19:07, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review. Here's ALT2: ... that although feuds still persist between the centuries-old Omani tribes, Ghafiri and Hinawi, present-day outbursts are generally limited to football rivalry between opposing teams? --Rosiestep (talk) 01:45, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you, I think that's much better. Hook ref verified and appears on both pages. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:30, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
