... that Macbeth was not killed during the Battle of Dunsinane? Source: [1] Chapter "Shakespeare and Macbeth: Fact versus Fiction" just after "Foreward"
- ALT1: ... that contrary to Shakespeare's play, Macbeth was not killed during the Battle of Dunsinane? Source: [2] Chapter "Shakespeare and Macbeth: Fact versus Fiction" just after "Foreward"

- Comment: I'm not sure how well known the play is, so suggesting a hook where it is mentioned in case it is not as well known as I imagine.

Newly created, long enough, neutral, well cited, and free of copyvios. ALT1 is definitely better for context. It's short enough, interesting, accurate, cited in the article, and neutral. QPQ is done. Only one quibble - I would suggest directly linking the play in the hook. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:27, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Pi.1415926535: I've updated ALT1 with a link to the play. Is this what you had in mind? CSJJ104 (talk) 14:34, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Looks great, now good to go. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:33, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
