 * Symbol question.svg New and long enough, Earwig detects no copyvios, QPQ done.  I think the original hook is fine, given that it contains facts that are not in dispute.  I'm concerned that a lot of the Background section is cited to a book by Hogan/Bollea, which cannot be considered neutral.  Other sources should be used where available, or if the book is used as a source there should be an in-text attribution "According to Bollea".  Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 22:32, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have made the change of source now.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 22:41, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay, both ALTs good to go, with original hook preferred. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 01:18, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
