- Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, well-cited and not copyvio. Hook is short enough, accurate and neutral. QPQ done. The hook is interesting enough to me, but it would be more interesting if it were stronger. Who else was present at Lüneburg Heath who outlived him? Should Montgomery be linked in the hook?
