- Thanks for the review. To be honest, it's not the "hookiest" of articles. If there's anything in the article you think could work I'm open to suggestions :) I've proposed an ALT1 below but it's pretty similar to the original. If it's not interesting enough then so be it, I don't mind if it doesn't go on the front page. BigDom (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

... that Cloudwater Brew Co is the only UK brewery ever to be named in RateBeer's annual Top 10 Breweries in the World list? Source: "1. Cloudwater Brew Co, Manchester... The only British brewery to feature in the top ten breweries in the world according to RateBeer[...]" The Telegraph)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but these hooks are too self-promotional and will be flagged at WP:ERRORS. Please try another hook angle. Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah Hi there. I'm not sure what you mean by self-promotional as I don't have anything to do with the brewery (apart from enjoying their beers occasionally) and the sources aren't self-published. However, I will propose an alternative:
- ALT2: ... that Cloudwater Brew Co's name is a translation of the Zen Buddhist term unsui, meaning "cloud, water"? (Source: "Cloudwater ditched all that, taking its name from a Zen Buddhist phrase unsui "cloud, water"[...] Esquire magazine) BigDom (talk) 10:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
"Self-promotional" doesn't refer to you, but to the beer. Maybe I should have said "self advertisement". Anyway, ALT2 reads a lot better IMO. Thanks. Pinging original reviewer HickoryOughtShirt?4 for a review of ALT2. Yoninah (talk) 12:48, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
