  • 16px More than long enough, quite an interesting and neutral hook, plus article was submitted to DYK about 26 hours after creation. While I cannot fully access the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography's text due to subscription issues and would personally prefer something more easily accessible, I will assume good faith that the hook is faithful to its attribution and have no qualms about the publication itself. QPQ has also been provided. Nothing of concern. Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
