Overall: Hello, Sammi Brie, nice work on the article. However, I'm not entirely sure if the hook meets criterion 4a, since this looks like it may focus too negatively on the person mentioned in the hook (this is my first time doing a review). Can you or somebody else share their thoughts? — Coolperson177 (t|c) 15:53, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Coolperson177: That's a good thought, but Holton Turnbough is dead (you might notice a mention of "Turnbough's estate" a bit later). See [1]. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:30, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Oh, sorry. I think everything else looks good though, so I'll give this a

pass. — Coolperson177 (t|c) 17:39, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
