Overall: ALT1 is most interesting, followed by ALT0. I've made a few grammatical adjustments to these hooks, though they may need to be refined a bit more.

  • Epicgenius It's a drawing. But it should be free in India (60 years in India). In commons, only the option for U.S. is there, and I thought it would do the work. That's why didn't add PD-India manually. Also, its from a U.S. magazine. Now, the problem is, there's a issue with my PC, and I can't edit on mobile. If possible, kindly edit the file license.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  17:57, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

ALT1a:... that grass was planted on top of Tala tank to protect it from the Japanese bombing on Calcutta during World War II?
ArnabSaha, that works as well. I changed the link to make it point directly to the article as required by DYK rules. Epicgenius (talk) 14:50, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
