... that British writer Adolphe Smith Headingley popularised the singing of the socialist anthem "The Red Flag" to the tune of "O Tannenbaum" against the wishes of its lyricist? Source: "Adolphe Smith Headingley induced people to sing "The Red Flag" to "Maryland, My Maryland"" from p59 and "Adolphe Smith Headingley was an English radical who introduced singers to "The Red Flag" by way of the tune "Maryland, My Maryland" - the same meolody as "O Tannenbaum" from page 211 and "There is only one air which suits the words of "The Red Flag," and that is the one I hummed as I wrote it. I mean "The White Cockade" ... [and then speaking of Smith's use of "O Tannenbaum":] it is church music and was, no doubt, composed, and is certainly calculated to remind people of their sins, and frighten them into repentance" from: Millar, Stephen (2020).

QPQ is done and the article is new. Its well written and cited and exceeds minimum length; Earwig and I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook facts are interesting and the article is neutral. Some of the hook sources are tricky to see but I have. Both hooks work but I think the main hook is more hooky. Sadly no photo of him. Nice work. Victuallers (talk) 17:05, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
