  • @The C of E: New and long enough, Earwig detects no copyvios, QPQ done. I think the original hook is fine, given that it contains facts that are not in dispute. I'm concerned that a lot of the Background section is cited to a book by Hogan/Bollea, which cannot be considered neutral. Other sources should be used where available, or if the book is used as a source there should be an in-text attribution "According to Bollea". Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 22:32, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Okay, both ALTs good to go, with original hook preferred. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 01:18, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
