  • Comment that image is pretty hard to see at that size. The ducks are nice, but maybe a crop on the statue? --valereee (talk) 22:47, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
Narutolovehinata5, I'm getting ready to get into the car and make an 8-hour drive, so I probably won't have a chunk of time today. Tomorrow I was planning to fill a set, if needed, but if it's not I could do a review then if no one else picks it up. --valereee (talk) 10:23, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Note to other reviewers that Naruto removed some commentary in this nomination. @Narutolovehinata5: I feel that your edit was rude given I was trying to review your nomination. Killiondude (talk) 19:50, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
@Killiondude: Firstly, this is not my nomination (my only edit here was to ping the nominator), and secondly it wasn't me who deleted the previous comments here, it was Alessandro57. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 20:26, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Hah. I should pay more attention. Alessandro57: see above. Killiondude (talk) 20:28, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment - I have restored the comments that were removed. Alessandro, please do not remove comments left by other editors, it is considered inappropriate to do so. As for the image, if it's problematic and the hook is not dependent on it, then the hook could run without the image. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 20:37, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
  • Killiondude so you're planning to review? I've been trying to make time but I'm pressed for a chunk of time right now. --valereee (talk) 20:42, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
