- ... that Rosemary Biggs and her colleagues discovered the Christmas factor? Source: "Now the new test showed that the blood of the young haemophiliac, Stephen Christmas, lacked a factor other than antihaemophilic globulin. The Oxford group named the missing factor Christmas factor (now called factor IX) and the disease Christmas disease"

- Comment: I think this would make a fun hook for Christmas. (25 December is a little outside the 6-week window for date requests, but perhaps an exception can be made – I only thought of the hook after writing the article.)

Article actually created 4 November (I will move it to the correct section); Article of a very good length; Article is well written and has no apparent copyright violations or close paraphrasing; Hook is interesting and would be excellent for the Christmas Day main page (who cares about a few days outside time limits?); Hook is cited to a reliable journal article, I am unable to access but happy to AGF on this - a spot check on some other article facts show them backed up in the source; QPQ has been very competently carried out - Dumelow (talk) 20:11, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
