• Date, size, refs, neutrality, copyvio spotcheck, QPQ all good. But the main hook is very mundane (many people take their kids with them, so what), while the second, while interesting, uses the term spoof, which is not present in the main article. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:03, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

@Evrik: we had two presidents named Bush. Perhaps you could link George W. Bush for clarification. For those who are too young, or not American, GW Bush is the president who had a tendency to mangle words. — Maile (talk) 00:53, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

• The new hooks are all good as the word spoof is not used. I think it's ok not to clarify which Bush, but I am also totally fine with clarification, either way is ok. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:40, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
