- I added ALT1a, to make it clear that the execution is the unexpected twist and not his status as a slaveowner. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 00:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough, neutral, and well referenced. Approving ALT1 or ALT1a which are interesting and cited. AGF for close paraphrasing and source verification. The supplied QPQ review is from 2020 but doesn't appear to have been claimed before. 97198 (talk) 11:23, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
