• It is long enough (though barely 5x...), new enough, etc. Can't find plagiarism, the sources are fine, the hook is verified. BUT I don't really think the hook is that strong. You could consider adding "until he served in WW1" or something like that? Maybe? Also, Usernameunique, please see my edit summary on married/maiden names.

• Good edits all around, Drmies, thanks for the points and copyedit. Here are some alts (speaking of squeaking by, ALT2 is, by sheer dumb luck, exactly 200 characters long):

:::ALT1: ... that Robert Howard Hodgkin was part of a "Quaker dynasty", until he joined the army?

ALT2: ... that Robert Howard Hodgkin was part of a "Quaker dynasty" that included a banker, a Marxist historian, a Nobel-winning chemist, a painter, another Nobel winner, and the namesake of Hodgkin's lymphoma? --Usernameunique (talk) 02:20, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

• I think we have a winner here! ALT2 it is. Drmies (talk) 02:34, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
