• ... that Sarah Robinson became known as the "Soldier's Friend" for promoting temperance in the British Army and providing facilities for the troops? "Robinson's success in converting servicemen to teetotalism, in providing decent entertainment and educational facilities, and in obtaining better quality accommodation for troops led to considerable national publicity and her subsequent recognition as the Soldier's Friend." (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography)
  • ALT1:... that temperance activist Sarah Robinson described Portsmouth as "Satan's very seat"? "Despite vociferous opposition by local townspeople, unappreciative of her widespread depiction of Portsmouth as 'Satan's very seat', Robinson refused to compromise the strict teetotalism and religious moralism central to her reform programme." (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography)
  • ALT2:... that temperance activist Sarah Robinson visited brothels in an attempt to improve the health of prostitutes and their clients?"she concurrently visited brothels in her attempts to improve the physical and spiritual condition of both prostitutes and their customers" (page 521)

• Date, length, references and neutrality are all good. All hooks are interesting and cited; my personal favourite is ALT1 but the promoter is free to choose. No apparent close paraphrasing from the sources I can access. Just waiting on a QPQ. 97198 (talk) 13:42, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
