- GA checks out, as does the QPQ. One minor query over the proposed hook: the article says he founded the "Department for Anglo-Saxon and Kindred Studies" which, later after merging with the English faculty, became the "Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic", so I would suggest keeping the same (piped) wording as the lead of the article. ALT1 is arguably more interesting but to a much smaller audience I suspect. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:32, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

- perfect, happy with the change, everything else checks out nicely. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:32, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
