QPQ done, GA nom confirmed within date, article is good (refs, copyvio spotcheck, etc.). I do have some concerns about the hook, however, which might be a bit too bland, but more worrisome, I read it as a bit condescending to the "people of Wales". Perhaps another hook can be proposed (or a second opinion offered on the one here, if the nom would like to continue with it)? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that a clergyman from London established 87 schools in Wales in the 17th century?
I am fine with ALT1, although I'd suggest adding "already before 18th century" to it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:29, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- I have added "in the 17th century". Llewee (talk) 13:17, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
