The article is new and long enough, uses in-line citations and appears neutral. Spot-checking reveals no problems with unduly close paraphrasing, copyright violations or plagiarism. All three hooks are short enough, interesting (alt 1 best in my opinion) and verified with in-line citations to reliable sources, although of the sources requires a subscription, and AGF applies to that one. QPQ fulfilled. Cbl62 (talk) 22:22, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Cbl62. I'd be happy with any of the hooks, but I would probably rank them in descending order as listed. The illegitimate-nephew angle has a legitimate place as a reflection of the social mores of the time, but it is a little tabloid. OTOH, the main hook plugs into a v popular 19th-century novelist, whose works are still widely-read and televised. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:38, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
