  • Image is now added in the article.--Nvvchar. 16:13, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
I'll remove it again. The image has nothing to do with sheep farming, the subject of the article. It relates to the processing of wool, which is by no means the same thing. In addition, it is quite incorrect and misleading to link the words "wool industry" in the hook to the article on farming. Sheep farming is but one single stage in the wool industry.

Sheep farm in Wales

  • Fine. I have revised the last part of the hook by removing the link and added an img.
Sorry, but that's no good (actually, it's worse). It would be a much better hook if it were completely changed to omit any mention of the village - which was a wool processing village, not a sheep farming village. There's very little reason for there to be any mention of the village in the article at all. But, if you don't want to do that, how about:
  • Thanks. Your suggestion of ALT 3 hook is very nice. Accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvvchar (talkcontribs) 18:06, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
