- ALT 2 ... that reading historian Charlotte Zeepvat's 2000 work Romanov Autumn has been described as being "like leafing through a Victorian lady's scrapbook"? The current wording is not grammatical. --Ishtar456 (talk) 00:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Just observed the International Women's Day category at the bottom of the nom page. I think this article would be a good candidate for March 8, but I'll leave that judgment up to others. Ruby 2010/2013 19:44, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
new enough, long enough but I think your Alt is the most interesting hook and I had a problems with the citation of the fact. You do not mention that Prince Leopold was a heamophiliac in the article.I would like to suggest that you add that in the discussion of Leopold in the article and change the hook to:
- ... that historian Charlotte Zeepvat's first book, published in 1998, was about the haemophiliac youngest son of Queen Victoria, Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany?
- If you make the suggested changes, I will sign off on this.--Ishtar456 (talk) 23:16, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- I have inputted a reference for the prince's haemophilia. However, I prefer the original alt hook, as I think it is less confusing at first glance (as it mentions the subject, Leopold, before the Queen):
- ... that historian Charlotte Zeepvat's first book, published in 1998, was about Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, the haemophiliac youngest son of Queen Victoria?
- I replaced the original hook with the agreed upon alternative.
Ready.
