Hi Lajmmoore, review follows; article created 30 November; article exceeds minimum length and is well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing outside of common turns of phrase; ALT0 is mentioned in the article, cited and backed up by the source; I have struck ALT1 for now as the source doesn't actually stated that Lloyd George asked where it was from, happy to revisit this though; a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 07:54, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
