Article is new enough, and each hook is interesting. Reliably sourced. Please rephrase the main hook: ‘not showering’ rather than ‘stopping showering’ would suffice. Cheers, Will Thorpe (talk) 07:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- I’ll add further that the second hook is rather long and conveys the same as the first. Definitely better to amend the first hook and go with that, or the last hook. Will Thorpe (talk) 07:07, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
