John Crook (classicist)
... that John Crook tried to get his colleagues to sing "Waltzing Matilda" in Latin, with the chorus for swag of "ambiclitella! ambiclitella!"?

- Comment: bit late, was muddled about the dates - sorry
Created by Philafrenzy (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 23:19, 25 August 2014 (UTC).
Article was a few days late to be nominated, but as I already denied one of the nominators other late articles i've taken some leniency on this one. Article is long enough and the hook is cited. Article is stable, with no disputes or obvious bias. No close paraphrasing found. Happy for this one to pass, despite the late nomination. Freikorp (talk) 13:25, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
The paragraph under Early Life lacks a cite. It would also be more interesting to mention who John Crook is, in the hook. Yoninah (talk) 21:56, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
