... that ...? although considered sacred to Hindus, Northern plains gray langur monkeys are killed in India for food and to prevent crop raiding.Source: "Local threats include...being hunted by humans for food and in response to crop raiding."

Would you be on board with switching the wording around? Because having "that" and "although" one after the other can come off as a bit convoluted. I was thinking something along the lines of:

... that Northern plains gray langur monkeys are killed in India for food and to prevent crop raiding, despite being considered sacred to Hindus? Source: same as original hook

Hope that's alright with you. If not, feel free to propose another hook. —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As for everything else – 5× expansion of March 17, 2020‎ version completed from 654 characters to 4,432 and nominated 5 days later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector check of online sources [1][2][3] reveal no close paraphrasing issues. Article is well-sourced. AGF ref 9 (verifying the hook) which is offline. QPQ done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with the revised hook. Rlendog (talk) 11:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great – revised hook is 141 characters long (under 200 character max.). Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

N.B. this does not count as reviewing my "own" hook. The wording and content is identical to the original – only the word sequencing is different. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
