  • I assume the nominator has no DYK credits as yet, as I do not see any on his/her talk page.
  • The article as it stands is copied verbatim from a biography which is now in the public domain. It is not yet an encyclopedia article, as it lacks a lead stating the notability of the subject, and any kind of structure in the body. I suggest you review Wikipedia:Article development and the various links on that page to make this Wikipedia-worthy. Best, Yoninah (talk) 01:06, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Nominator has DYK credits (see nominators DYK credits here), has read the DYK nomination rules and as a result nominator did review a DYK nomination (]Diamond Jubilee (horse)). --Senra (talk) 11:35, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
  • The article is not fully copied verbatim, as the hook fact is not in the source text, all the text has been wikilinked, the hook is fully sourced, full attribution is given and some of the bibliography has been expanded. I will however re-work the article as you suggested (with difficulty, as some of the sources are manuscripts which I do not have access to). It will therefore take a day or so but it will get done --Senra (talk) 11:35, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Thank you for taking care of the issues. Age, length, referencing all in order. But the hook as it is constructed takes the focus off the subject. What do you think about:
  • ALT1: ... that 16th-century bishop's chancellor John Fuller was not known for leniency as he ordered several Christian heretics to be burnt at the stake? Yoninah (talk) 22:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Being honest, ALT1 takes the focus off my intended subject :) the burning at the stake of two Wisbech heretics at Ely; John Fuller is incidental to this. I only created the Fuller article to avoid a red-link at Ely, Cambridgeshire. Therefore, I would prefer a hook nearer in form to the original --Senra (talk) 22:29, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
  • OK. Hook ref AGF. First hook good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:59, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
