• ... that ...? although considered sacred to Hindus, Northern plains gray langur monkeys are killed in India for food and to prevent crop raiding.Source: "Local threats include...being hunted by humans for food and in response to crop raiding."

• Would you be on board with switching the wording around? Because having "that" and "although" one after the other can come off as a bit convoluted. I was thinking something along the lines of:

... that Northern plains gray langur monkeys are killed in India for food and to prevent crop raiding, despite being considered sacred to Hindus? Source: same as original hook

Hope that's alright with you. If not, feel free to propose another hook. —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

As for everything else – 5× expansion of March 17, 2020‎ version completed from 654 characters to 4,432 and nominated 5 days later. No copyvios detected and duplication detector check of online sources [1][2][3] reveal no close paraphrasing issues. Article is well-sourced. AGF ref 9 (verifying the hook) which is offline. QPQ done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I am fine with the revised hook. Rlendog (talk) 11:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Great – revised hook is 141 characters long (under 200 character max.). Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

N.B. this does not count as reviewing my "own" hook. The wording and content is identical to the original – only the word sequencing is different. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
