This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. I don't like ALT0 because it reminds me of the Israelites being led across the Red Sea. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Maybe a little more description in the hook, like who he is, would make ALT1 hookier. Yoninah (talk) 21:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: is this better? Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
@Skyes(BYU): yes, thank you. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. I'm promoting this, but please add an infobox to this and other biographical articles that you write. Yoninah (talk) 22:03, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Dates
[edit]Article has two different dates of death, February 21, 1898 and February 27, 1893, ie different days and different years. When I checked ref 2 Hardy, I also noticed a different year of birth, 1823 instead of 1828. JennyOz (talk) 11:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing that out. The consensus death date is February 21, 1898 among various sources. Hardy is the only source which appears to have a different death date. I have changed the date to reflect the majority of sources. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 18:33, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking and tweaking. JennyOz (talk) 18:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
