  • Everything looks good: new enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I'm just wondering why you chose to add the fact about Crawley Down rather than write a tighter hook that just links Scaramanga with Fleming's James Bond? Yoninah (talk) 20:18, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I wanted to use an image from James Bond, but I wasn't certain that any of them would be O.K. to use. I'm still learning about image licensing. I could just eliminate the phrase and the photo:
ALT1: ... that WWI flying ace James Scaramanga has a connection to James Bond series author Ian Fleming? Anne (talk) 20:31, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Both hooks are vague in the extreme. Can we have an ALT to really hook the readers in? I mean, I have a connection to George Washington but it's tenuous as hell. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 17:14, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
