Bot statements confirmed; article within policy; no close paraphrasing detected. The sources say that Barton's land holdings became part of the city of Redlands, but not that it comprised its entire area, so a new hook needs to be provided. The fact about purchasing the land from Mormons being recalled to Utah might be a good hook. Otherwise, good job!
- ALT1: ... that Ben Barton (pictured) was able to cheaply purchase a large amount of land in what would become Redlands, California, due to Brigham Young's recall of the Mormon outpost there? Regards, James (talk/contribs) 20:24, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- @James Allison and Antony-22: I came to put this in the prep areas to go to the main page, but I ran into a problem doing some general validation. The hook as stated is not actually in the article. It does not list Brigham Young, nor a "recall" - the article uses the term "exodus", which has a different connotation. As it stands someone would click on the hook, then be confused when that fact as stated is not in the article. It can either be addressed by updating the hook or the article, I have no preference either way. MPJ-DK 01:15, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
