  • This comprehensive article is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:28, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook wording is not accurate. He didn't build organs the way Ford built cars; he mass-produced them and priced them the way Ford produced and priced automobiles. Please provide a new hook. Yoninah (talk) 21:55, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I tried to capture mass production and marketing into one word "methods" but def don't want brevity to get in the way of clarity. Hinners did this before Ford did, since the first model T was made in 1908, so I expanded the hook while trying to avoid using the word "production" twice. How's that?
