- Comment: I have no preference which hook gets used. I just like to give people options! :)

- Fascinating piece - a very interesting life. I prefer the original hook to any of the alts. Could you replace the all-caps in the references? ALLCAPS is disfavored in titles in references. I've gone through and done a portion myself, and some minor copyediting as well. Neutralitytalk 04:16, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- Fixed. Unfortunately, the titles come out of Newsbank that way, and it's quicker to just copy-paste them so I can get through the sources to get the article written. Glad you enjoyed the article. I was just working on a few missing Kentucky Supreme Court justice articles; I didn't know what I was getting into either! Acdixon (talk · contribs) 14:06, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 08:04, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. I have struck some of the hooks for various reasons, and the remaining hooks are satisfactory and have inline citations. The article is neutral and I express no view on copyright issues, not having access to the sources. A colourful character. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:14, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
