Robert Burns (Stevenson)
- ... that US General Arthur MacArthur gave an address at the unveiling of a monument (pictured) to Scottish poet Robert Burns, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin? Source: [1] Top of page 155, text reads "General Arthur MacArthur delivered an address on Scottish characteristics and poetry."
- Reviewed: Iris lortetii
5x expanded by WIScotusjsmke (talk). Nominated by Freekee (talk) at 04:50, 29 November 2019 (UTC).
Length, history and reference verified; passes copyvio check. Good to go! Daniel Case (talk) 21:14, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
"Milwaukee Wisconsin" in the hook should have a comma and at least one link, and the article needs a copyedit; I'll try to do this. Ham II (talk) 22:10, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
- Added the comma after "Milwaukee"; however, there is no requirement that a well-known location be linked in a hook, where we try to minimize unnecessary links to avoid distracting from the nominated article. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:32, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

I prefer ALT1 as it makes it very clear what the hook is about. Daniel Case (talk) 18:18, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
- I think alt1 is hookier. Why would an American general give an address about a Scottish poet? How about
- Alt2 ... that US General Arthur MacArthur gave an address at the unveiling of Milwaukee's monument to Robert Burns (pictured), the Scottish poet?

Adding a tick for ALT2, proposed by the nominator, which I think does add interest to ALT1, and is preferable to the ALT0s. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:43, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
