... that the Pompey stone was believed to date to the early 1500s for over 70 years after its discovery in 1820 before it was revealed to be a hoax in 1894?
Overall: This is my first review so I hope I did everything correctly. I think the discovery of a hoax is something that would be interesting to a broad audience, and the hook is properly cited. Pawnkingthree (talk) 19:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the review, Pawnkingthree-- apologies but this just came to mind, would you approve a rephrasing of the hook that I think is more concise? The date of discovery can be inferred from "over 70 years" and IMO makes the hook a little less clunky Eddie891TalkWork 19:46, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

You know, you read my mind there... I was going to mention that there were possibly one too many dates in the hook. ALT0b is an improvement, definitely.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 19:51, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
