... that Methodist preacher Stephen G. Roszel (pictured) often delivered two-hour-long sermons?

Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, cited, and free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. Hook is cited and within policy. QPQ done. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 16:48, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to throw cold water, but the hook really falls flat. Two-hour sermons were common in that age. EEng (talk) 01:41, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Probably, but most people won't know that. If you have a better suggestion, feel free to offer it. --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:08, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that Methodist preacher Stephen G. Roszel (pictured) opposed abolition? EEng (talk) 22:07, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
That would be acceptable by me (mildly prefer original), but obviously would require a new review... --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Sources (ref #10 and #11) state he strongly wrote in opposition to abolition. Changed link so it's not pointing at a dab. ALT1 is good on Hirolovesswords' review. Fuebaey (talk) 17:44, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
