  • This biography of a very successful civil engineer is long enough and new enough. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. ALT0 and ALT2 are rather uninteresting but I like the quote about his being "a very brainy backroom boy". Could we extend ALT1 by adding that he had "no management experience whatever"?

Hi Cwmhiraeth, thanks for reviewing. Please see above revised hooks - Dumelow (talk) 08:46, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Both ALT4 and ALT5 are acceptable and cited inline. I have struck the other hooks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:03, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
