[edit]... that Father Bernard R. Hubbard, known as "the Glacier Priest," was the highest-paid lecturer in the world in the 1930s?

- Reference for hook does not specify the period in which he was the world's highest paid lecturer. Otherwise good to go; newly created, adequate prose size. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 23:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- The third paragraph, the main reference, states 1937. I've copied the date reference into the lede,for DYK purposes only. Acroterion (talk) 00:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Okay, that's fine then. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 13:50, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but a reference published in 1937 does not cover the entire 1930s. The hook needs to be more restrictive in its claim. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:59, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
- I disagree that the hook implies inclusiveness rather than at some point in the 1930s, but how about
ALT1: "... that Father Bernard R. Hubbard, known as "the Glacier Priest," was called the highest-paid lecturer in the world in 1937?"The source noted by the reference was published in 1937 and makes no specific claim about when, so I did not wish to be too specific.

- I disagree that the hook implies inclusiveness rather than at some point in the 1930s, but how about
- "At one time during the 1930s the highest paid..."? There's a fine line between being unspecific and between inflating the source. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 11:16, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that in 1937 The Literary Digest described Father Bernard R. Hubbard, "the Glacier Priest", as the highest-paid lecturer in the world?
- That's more or less literally what's in the article and the source. Acroterion (talk) 19:15, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay, that's fine now. Thank you for your work on the article! MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 16:25, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
