Thomas Athol Joyce edit

Created by Victuallers (talk). Self nominated at 09:26, 2 December 2013 (UTC).

  • At first glance I thought the hook referred to an entry about Joyce, rather than written by him. Would this be better?
ALT1 * ... that the entry for "Negro" written by Thomas Athol Joyce for the Encyclopædia Britannica was said to be ridiculous?
Article is newly created, long enough and well-referenced. Hook fact is properly cited, and I have confirmed it with an online source (Oxford DNB). The original hook is properly formatted and interesting. QPQ done. --Bcp67 (talk) 20:55, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Tick for ALT1 - I agree - its better Victuallers (talk) 22:10, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Ready to go, with the ALT1 hook. --Bcp67 (talk) 05:41, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
