• Jeff G., your initial review omits any check of the images, which is needed here. Also, can you please confirm which of the hooks you checked and can safely be promoted? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:46, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I got bogged down in other things. Both images and all three hooks are fine (although the images could be zoomed in on the faces for better appearance at 100px), but I'm not sure "was given" is entirely appropriate in ALT1, thus I submit for your approval:

• ALT3: ... that Honor Fell at the Strangeways Research Laboratory hired Francis Crick for his first job in scientific research?

That looks fine to me; I don't think it matters very much. Opabinia regalis (talk) 18:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Also, ALT1 could be improved with "until" instead of "till".   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 05:17, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
