James Ross (surgeon)

[edit]
  • ALT1... that in the first successful kidney transplant in the UK, the surgeon James Ross harvested the kidney which was transplanted into the donor's twin brother? Source: Ross removed the donor kidney which was transplanted into the recipient, his twin brother, by Woodruff. 'The first kidney transplant in Edinburgh: twins'

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I amalgamated a couple of paragraphs in the article so that they would not fall foul of the "at least one citation per paragraph" rule. A QPQ has been done.

  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but it would be so much hookier if you mention that the recipient was his twin brother. Yoninah (talk) 21:59, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Many thanks for that suggestion. I've added it as ALT 1 and managed to keep it within the character limit. Papamac (talk) 08:46, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I tightened it a bit. Cwmhiraeth, could you review ALT1? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 11:27, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
  • Approving ALT1, though I removed the mention of "identical" in the hook because it was not in the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:21, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
