... that there are quite a few smews?

Comment: Expanded prose >5x 23 Dec (Page was created 10 Dec but lists are excluded from character count). I thought this hook would be nice for Supplementary Guideline J7 ("Consider picking at least one funny or quirky hook if there is one available and putting it in the last (bottom) slot of the update.")

The prose part of this page is a five-fold expansion. It is new enough and long enough. The hook fact is referenced and is correct as long as you agree that "quite a few" can mean 130,000. I have put a wikilink in the hook for smew. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:32, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
