• ... that during his 1755 birthday party, which was attended by five-hundred people, John Spencer secretly married Georgiana Poyntz in an upstairs bedroom?

• A superb article. I wonder if the punctation should follow British usage ("handsomer than an angel," → "handsomer than an angel",), but that is a rather trivial issue. I would suggest calling her simply Georgiana Poyntz, since full names are rarely used in hooks; I suppose she is also much more recognizable as Georgiana Poyntz than as Margaret Georgiana Poyntz.

• Thanks for reviewing and copyediting. I have removed "Margaret" from the hook per your suggestion. I prefer the punctuation the way it is (those errant commas seem distracting with British usage). But I'm always willing to compromise if you feel strongly. I'll be adding my QPQ in a bit. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 00:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

• No problem, I just thought there was something in the MoS about regional varities and, but it may be my imagination. Anyway, (to elaborate) the article is long enough and new enough, properly sourced, contains no copyvio. QPQ done. Surtsicna (talk) 07:32, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
