 * Symbol question.svg I think the hook sounds a little off. Shouldn't it be "were so many" or "were so much"? I'll continue with the rest of the review once we come to an understanding. Thanks! Proudbolsahye (talk) 06:59, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The source has this wording:Before 1540 Lee appears to have befriended his brother-in-law Wyatt in various ways, not only by lending him money but also, in Wyatt’s words, by ‘other infinite [?ways] that makes me weary to think on them’. NinaGreen (talk) 15:39, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think the source has a touch of poetic language that doesn't appear to be suitable for an encyclopedia. If we change it to "so many" perhaps that would be more encyclopedic. After all, were not suppose to jot down the wording of the source word by word. What do you think? Proudbolsahye (talk) 23:08, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure, 'so many' sounds fine. NinaGreen (talk) 23:46, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * ALT1 ... that the favours done by Sir Anthony Lee for the poet Thomas Wyatt were so many that it made Wyatt "weary to think on them"?

Sources are reliable. New enough. Long enough. ALT1 is preferable. The article was a great and smooth read. I would reccomend this for GA. The lead needs to be expanded a bit though. Anyways, GTG!!!
 * Thanks for the review! I've added to the lead as per your recommendation. NinaGreen (talk) 22:22, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
