- ALT1: ... that twin cities of Mikuszowice and Komorowice were divided by a state border for hundreds of years, but are now unified in one country, separated only by a river?
New articles, more than long enough. QPQ not required (first time self nomination). Clearly notable Well referenced and supported by more than ample sources. I do not have access to the offline sources (and I don't speak or read Polish), but given the extensive citations and the woof and weave of the fabric (discourse) in the two articles, I think we should WP:AGF. Hook length checks out. As to the length of the alternative hook, since this is a two-banger it would be alright. Have asked the author if he agrees with it, and that response is pending. My plagiarism checker is not functioning (sorry!), so I could not check for copyvio or close paraphrasing. Latest hook and article are neutral, and interesting and directly referenced (although sorting through the history is a long road and a deep read). I would appreciate it if somebody would check for copy vios, although I think there are none. But I don't want this to bite me in the ass. If we are going with the alternate hooks (which I think is hookier—have now added ALT2), I suppose we need somebody to do a review of it. Otherwise, the original hook has reliable sources (see maps below). 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:53, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that twin settlements of Mikuszowice and Komorowice were divided by a state border for hundreds of years, but are now unified in one country, separated only by a river? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:42, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: Thanks for your response. Proposed Alt 2 using "twin settlements". I knew that these were books, and certainly meant no disparagement. I WP:AGF. I would suppose that ALT2 needs a blessing from another reviewer.
- I see you linked Biała River, I guess I (I'm he, btw.) could reference it too a bit, should anyone like to click it too... D_T_G (PL) 12:59, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- ANOTHER REVIEWER NEEDED! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:42, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Need new reviewer to check ALT2, as noted above, and maybe ALT1 as well. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:38, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

QPQ: 
- None needed
Double-checked the articles. One pic was taken by an unknown author in the thirties, and thus wouldn't fall under automatic public domain in the US. However, the use in the article would fall under fair use. As long as it isn't used in the hook, it should be fine. Approving for Alt 2. --¿3family6 contribs 16:32, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
