• Comment: Source for both hooks: "Following the rejection of the second Reform Bill in the House of Lords on 8 October 1831, serious rioting and systematic destruction took place in Nottingham. On 9 October the property of prominent opponents of reform was attacked in the town. On 10 October a public protest meeting turned violent. The mob marched out to Colwick and sacked Colwick Hall, the home of John Musters. Towards evening they surrounded the Castle, which was the town house of the 4th Duke of Newcastle, and burned it down." from: "Two documents concerning the Nottingham reform riots of 1831, comprising affidavit regarding damage to the property of Dr A. Manson, and warrant to the Sheriffs of the town and county of Nottingham, 1831 - Archives Hub". Archives Hub. University of Nottingham Manuscripts and Special Collections. Retrieved 6 May 2020.

• 16px New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Image is suitable for the front page. Earwig and spot-checking found no close paraphrasing, copyright violations or plagiarism. NPOV observed. The interesting ALT0 is preferred, as ALT1 is rather dry. All paragraphs and the hook are well-cited. Edwardx (talk) 10:52, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
