Overall: @Tim O'Doherty: Good article. But, i feel as if these hooks aren't all too interesting. Is there something better that could be done? Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:12, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke I thought they were all interesting. How about a modification of the first one "... that the Lincolnshire Echo wrote that Wilberforce "seem[ed] to go on forever"?" Best, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 20:27, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

I guess when thinking about it they're a little interesting. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:01, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
