5x expanded by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 09:23, 11 January 2022 (UTC).
- If you could hold off reviewing for a few days. I've expanded from the Google Books preview but have a hard copy on the way. Once it arrives I'll add page number citations - Dumelow (talk) 12:37, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Hook is interesting and verified. QPQ has been conducted Article is at 5x expansion and cited to a reliable source. AGF that it's free from copyvio. However, I'm concerned that it seems to rely on one source which has the potential to be problematic for a few reasons, namely that sources make mistakes and multiple sources provide a fuller perspective. There's also an unresolved pn tag that needs some love. Would it be possible to introduce some other sourcing? I found this [1] on a quick source, so the sourcing does exist to some extent, at least. Let me know what you think, Eddie891 Talk Work 22:35, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review Eddie891. I stumbled across the article in poor condition and was looking to bring it up to a basic standard but ended up buying the Atkin book and writing quite a bit. There's surprisingly few sources on the subject but I've added a few, including the one you found. Also sorted the page needed that I missed. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 10:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
