The Lying Student edit
- ... that The Lying Student was written in 1914 but was not published until most of the manuscript was rediscovered in 1981?

The hook states that it was published after 1961 when the entire manuscript was found, whereas the article states that most of the manuscript was found in 1961, and says nothing about it being published. Otherwise, I don't see any other issues since the sources are offline. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:10, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- The lead states: "It was originally written in 1914, but its publication was stalled due to the outbreak of World War I. It was not released until the 1980s." FunkyCanute (talk) 11:18, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
My apologies, as I read "1981" as "1961." In any case, I have gone ahead and accepted it, but amended the intro to note that most of the manuscript was found, not all of it. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 15:53, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
