Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting: - Would it be possible to reword the hook to remove at least one of the years? Because at the moment, it seems obvious that something that happened in 1990 happened within one year of something that happened in 1989. I was only interested earlier because I'm from Texas haha.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: See above.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 04:45, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
