REVIEW STARTED. New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Edwardx (talk) 11:59, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

@Edwardx: I hope you haven't forgotten about this. Jupitus Smart 15:24, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder. New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. NPOV. Well-cited throughout. Interesting hook. The hook fact needs a citation at the end of the sentence, not just the end of the paragraph. Having "marry" and "married" in the same sentence seems a tad cumbersome, so I've suggested a shorter ALT1, which is still not perfect! Edwardx (talk) 01:20, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

@Edwardx: Thanks for the review. I have added the citation at the end of the sentence. ALT1 is good, though it sounds a little less 'hooky'. But I cannot think of a better way to modify the sentence so I think its okay to go ahead with that. I have also added a Public Domain image which was added to the page recently. Do look into the image and review it as well. Jupitus Smart 02:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Jupitus Smart. Cite at end of sentence noted. I agree with your concerns about my ALT1 - hopefully someone further along in the process will be inspired to tweak your hook and make it even better. Image is suitably licensed for the front page. Edwardx (talk) 10:43, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
