Hi
Hog Farm, review follows: article promoted to GA on 26 June; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; most sources are offline but there's no copyright violation from those that are online; hooks are interesting and mentioned in the article; hooks are cited to offline sources for which I am happy to AGF; I think I prefer ALT2 but any would work; a QPQ has been carried out -
