... New enough, long enough, QPQ provided. Copyvio around 24% due to titles so okay. Article reads well and I AGF on all her studies mentioned. Well referenced. Hook is clear in the article and in the following citation to a reference containing the hook fact. I read The Discovery of India many years ago and have it in front of me, though never knew about the TV series. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:55, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
