- Roller26, It's unclear what
the article mentions lot of similar facts with different sources
means. Could you be more specific? -- RoySmith (talk) 20:36, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- RoySmith, as I could not access the offline book for the hook, I was merely remarking the fact that Edward G. Faile worked and lived in The Bronx, had a farm, bred cattle, and was president of the agricultural society are confirmed by different sources as well, hence the hook can be accepted as AGF.

- Roller26, Oh, I see. The link in the reference doesn't work for you? That's curious. It works for me. I'm guessing from your user page that you're in India? Possibly the preview isn't available in every country (I'm in the US). In any case, that verifies the animals' names, that they were bred and owned by Faile, and that Faile live in "West Farms, West Chester, US". Which I suppose means ALT1 (which I've just added) would be more accurate. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:37, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- RoySmith, I have full access to the 1878 edition but no access to the 1891 edition even with a US proxy. I tried searching by the cattle names in the 1878 but couldn't find the three mentioned in the article. If its available in 1878 edition, you can direct me to it, or I can accept the hook ALT1 as AGF or you can ask for a second review. Roller26 (talk) 22:04, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Roller26 Going with ALT1 under AGF sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:14, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1 approved as its more accurate. Roller26 (talk) 22:20, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
