 * Symbol confirmed.svgle is new enough and long enough. No close paraphrasing has been found. The article is well written and very well sourced. However, I do not see the statement/fact in the article that he "spent most of his career" as a professor of Ecclesiastical History at the University of Glasgow. For that reason I have crossed off both the main and Alt1 hooks. I can verify hook Alt2. The Alt2 hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 07:04, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
