Interesting story on plenty of sources, few offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I accept the original hook, finding the ALT pale in comparison. The image is licensed but unimpressive. The logo would tell the story but we can probably not use it. I suggest to think about the hook further:
- we could drop "earlier" as redundant
- we might say "three generations" instead of "one family", sounds more impressive
- we might add the year of founding (and then might drop "first")
- Just thoughts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gerda Arendt! I proposed ALT2 above for your thoughts. I like including the first in the hook, as that's part of the novelty. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 17:50, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- That's fine with me. Only, next time please don't word a new hook above the approval icon which makes it automatically approved. No need to change for this one, as I do approve it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:48, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
