  • Date and length OK. Hook length OK and properly cited. Image licenced. Good to go. --Gibmetal 77talk 2 me 23:41, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I found this to be a confusing hook. There is no way to figure out what the lighthouse's alternate name actually is. The article isn't much help in the matter: while the intro gives "Gibraltar "D" Head Lighthouse" as its alternate name, the article body does not (and should); furthermore, the sources used to cite it seem to disagree on the name ("Light" in Foghorn vs. unstated, but probably "Lighthouse", in UNC). Would "shares its name with the manmade breakwater on which it stands in Gibraltar Harbour" be hooky enough? This way there is no claim of derivation (likely, but not stated in any of the sources), yet the names are linked. Or perhaps the alternate name idea could be retained with "alternate "D" Head name" and a rejiggering later in the hook. Thoughts? BlueMoonset (talk) 15:19, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Hook issues have been resolved: ALT 1 is approved, and original hook has been struck. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:19, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
