  • new enough, long enough, hook is cited and inline citations. Continuing review.Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:04, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
  • article appears to be neutral. QPQ done. Appears to be free of plagiarism. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
I think ALT2 is the best hook. It is clear, yet specific. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:23, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
  • @ZigZig20s: have you read WP:LIMITED? Is there really a reason for the quoted text in ALT2? Sometimes just changing one or two words and leaving the rest neatly sidesteps the problem of close paraphrasing. Yoninah (talk) 20:07, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
User:Yoninah:I always err on the side of caution, but I believe you have a point. Please feel free to remove the quotation marks.Zigzig20s (talk) 20:33, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
  • OK. Since ALT2 gives no context (location, era), do you want to add more to the hook, like:
  • ALT2a: ... that Gustave A. Mueller of the Homeopathic Hospital of Pittsburgh was considered a leading specialist in the treatment of the eye, the ear, the nose and the throat? Yoninah (talk) 20:41, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Yes, that's fine. Do we need to change the article please?Zigzig20s (talk) 20:45, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
  • I just changed it in the lead. The paragraph in the body of the article has two quotes from the newspaper, so I left the quotes there. Restoring tick for ALT2a per Skyes(BYU)'s review. Yoninah (talk) 20:58, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
