R. W. Buzzard

The Lewis County Courthouse
The Lewis County Courthouse
  • ... that, while Judge R. W. Buzzard has been criticized for drinking in his chambers and carrying a loaded gun in the Lewis County Courthouse (pictured), he also also personally intervened in fistfights in his courtroom and engaged in foot pursuit of fleeing suspects?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - Your current hook is over the limit of 200 characters.
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hook might focus more closely on the chase, which is the most interesting aspect of this case. I'm not sure that the image is adding that much to the hook, but I guess that's for the promoter to decide. buidhe 23:28, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, this is way too long (current hook stands at around 260 characters). This hook is trying to say four things and include details about each of these four things. Would any of these be palatable? epicgenius (talk) 21:47, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
