I'll review this. From a first glance, I can see that the first paragraph of "Works" is missing an end-of-paragraph citation. -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 22:25, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch—fixed. Ploni^💬 22:39, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ploni: Article is new enough (Created on 9 January) and long enough (3312 characters); No copyvio issues (Earwig returns "Violation unlikely"); Article is neutral in tone and sourced throughout ~~(except for one sentence that I pointed out above)~~; The hooks are cited and the first hook is interesting, but the second hook lacks some context in my opinion. It is not really apparent to the reader why he was banned at one place for giving a speech at the other, and both names mean nothing to the non-specialist. If it were specified that his speech at a reform congregation led to him being banned at the orthodox one, despite being orthodox himself, it'd be much more hooky. -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 22:43, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. It could be changed to something like

ALT1': ... that although himself Orthodox, Henry A. Henry was banned from the then-Orthodox Congregation Shaaray Tefila after delivering a sermon at the Reform Temple Emanu-El in 1851?

but I'm also fine sticking with ALT0. Ploni^💬 02:48, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
