  • This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. I don't like ALT0 because it reminds me of the Israelites being led across the Red Sea. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Dates

edit

Article has two different dates of death, February 21, 1898 and February 27, 1893, ie different days and different years. When I checked ref 2 Hardy, I also noticed a different year of birth, 1823 instead of 1828. JennyOz (talk) 11:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for pointing that out. The consensus death date is February 21, 1898 among various sources. Hardy is the only source which appears to have a different death date. I have changed the date to reflect the majority of sources. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 18:33, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
