  • Article length and date are good. Referencing checks out, along with neutrality and possible copyright violation. Hook is formatted correctly. It is possible to trim the hook to streamline the prose, as seen in my suggested ALT1 below. Binksternet (talk) 01:25, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
  • ALT1: ... that senator William H. Strayer was the only Democrat in the Oregon State Senate in 1931?
  • I agree ALT1 is better.--Orygun (talk) 03:01, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Okay, we're good to go with ALT1. Binksternet (talk) 03:45, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
