- Hi The Twists and Turns, what do you mean by too long? The hook is about 150 characters, whereas the limit is 200 (WP:DYK200).
- A shorter version could be:
- ALT3a ... that the Perth County Courthouse (pictured) was built after a judge refused to hold hearings in its predecessor?

- @Chris Woodrich: You're right, it is about 150 characters but I was just saying that they were a little too many words in the hook and that maybe it could be shortened down a bit. Thank you for suggesting ALT3a. I now updated the review and it is approved. –The Twists and Turns talk|my edits 00:49, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you. You need to change |status = maybe to |status = y for the bot to read this nomination as approved. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:22, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
