Prise d'Orange
- ... that part of Prise d'Orange was recently discovered in the binding of another book? Source: Dr Tamara Atkin from Queen Mary University of London was researching the reuse of books during the 16th century when she came across the fragment from the hitherto lost Siège d'Orange in the binding of a book published in 1528.
- ALT1: ... that Raymond Weeks considered Prise d'Orange "stupid and impossible"? Source: doi:10.2307/456480, p 364: "This stupid and impossible poem contains not a small number of inconsistencies and repetitions."

- Comment: There is the faintest tinge of WP:OR in alt0 because the Guardian article does not say "Prise d'Orange", but I'm aware of no other Siège d'Orange than the hitherto-considered-lost part of Prise d'Orange and the description of the narrative in the Guardian article is exactly what I'd expect based on what Prise d'Orange says. I emailed Professor Atkin to double check (not that this would necessarily cure the OR issue if nothing has been published to this effect). My prose size script gives 1108B for the last version before I started editing and 7518B for the current version.

5 x expansion to a solid length, neutral and well-cited, no copyvios to speak of. Both hooks are okay -- Im fine with the "OR" issue in the original, though my personal preference is with ALT1; AGF on source used there. QPQ done. Media file used is properly licensed and is not under copyright as far as I can discern. Dahn (talk) 20:37, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Promoter's comment to @AleatoryPonderings and Dahn: I ended up taking ALT0—i know that ALT1 would get more clicks, but I'm not willing to sacrifice saying something intellectually stimulating for the words "stupid" and "impossible". Just the once, i don't want my job to be appealing to the lowest common denominator—I want to raise it, too. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she?) 09:13, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
