New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. All paragraphs cited. NPOV okay. Earwig and spot checking done. ALT1 is cited, but a bit humdrum. The ALT0 hook is better, but the fact does not appear in the article, and the Census article linked to above indicates three rather than five speakers. Alternatively, perhaps an ALT2 of something like "... Neath Hotel has 25 guest rooms for a village population of 430?" (25 is from their website, www.theneath.com.au/about) Edwardx (talk) 19:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the blatant error in the hook. I think it's reasonable to state the number of Tok Pisin speakers in the article, so I'll add that. I do slightly prefer ALT0 to your proposed ALT2, though, since it's a bit more surprising. Cheers, Cremastra — talk — c 19:32, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It was just a thought. The Tok Pisin thing is intriguing enough. Edwardx (talk) 19:48, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
