... that despite being in force for more than 100 years no known prosecutions were made under the Seamen's and Soldiers' False Characters Act 1906? Source: "As with section 1, the Home Office have confirmed that there is no record of any prosecutions being brought under section 2" from: The Law Commission and The Scottish Law Commission (January 2008). "Statute Law Repeals: Eighteenth Report"(PDF). p. 40. Retrieved 24 December 2022.
ALT1: ... that the Seamen's and Soldiers' False Characters Act 1906 has often been cited in lists of "strange UK laws"? Source: I've given four examples in the article but if you search the name of the act in Google News you'll get dozens of hits on similar lists
Overall: Article is new and long enough, and no copyvio concerns. Hook fact is present and cited, and while both are interesting I much prefer ALT0. QPQ is done and I don't have any concerns, good to go. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:14, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
