This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used, however I find ALT3 uninteresting. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:58, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"British army" why not link British Army?
- Done
"the United States and" no need to link.
- Done
Link cholera.
- Done
"1836–1836" weird.
- Agree, fixed to 1836
"in Quebec City" link in main body too.
- Done
"1816.[2] In 1818 he" -> "1816 and two years later he"
- Done
Link Anglican.
- Done

"the British army" see my first comment.
- Done
"in York for link.
- Not sure what you want to change here.
" to Methodism in" should be linked earlier.
- Done, removed wikilink here to prevent overlinking
"3rd riding of York" link, and normally Riding.
- There's no wikiarticle for 3rd riding of York, and I am not sure it is notable enough to have one. Riding is part of a name, so I am not sure if it should be wikilinked, but I'd rather wikilink constitutency. Thoughts?
"protect the constitution link?
- I linked to Constitution of the United Kingdom
"Solicitor-General" link?
- Wikilinked to Ministry of the Solicitor General (Ontario)
"lieutenant-governor" link?
- Done
"his Legislative Assembly" link?
- Legislative Assembly is linked earlier in the paragraph.
"reform movement's" link?
- Linked reform policies earlier in the section to Reform movement (Upper Canada)
" that William Lyon Mackenzie, the" why his first names again?
- Removed first name.
"between Reformers and" should have been linked before.
- Removed the wikilink here, because it's wikilinked earlier.
"member of the reform movement and" should have been linked before. And isn't Reform capitalised?
- I checked throughout the article, and there is only one instance referring to Reformers that should be capitalised, because it is referring to the political party. The rest of the instances refer to the reform movement, or reform ideology, which are not capitalised.
"chief justice" link?
- Linked to Court of Appeal for Ontario#Chief Justices of Upper Canada (1792–1841)/Province of Canada (1841–1867)
"Christopher Alexander Hagerman was the" overlinked and no need for his first names.
- Removed wikilink
"was frightened of" afraid of.
- Done
Ref 6 should be pp. and en-dash.
- Done
As should 10, 12, 22.
- Done
Canniff - year range in title should use an en-dash.
- Done
