• Article is detailed and reffed and it has an interesting hook which is referenced. Spot checks and reading three or four sources showed no evidence of close paraphrasing. I have boldly changed the hook from John Verdun (Jack) Newton to "Jack" Newton as I think it odd that he has a name with brackets in it. Surely thats a wiki thing. Feel free to modify the name in the hook. This hook to be used on Nov 11? Thanks for this Victuallers (talk) 19:47, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
