 * Reference for hook does not specify the period in which he was the world's highest paid lecturer. Otherwise good to go; newly created, adequate prose size. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 23:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)


 * The third paragraph, the main reference, states 1937. I've copied the date reference into the lede,for DYK purposes only.  Acroterion   (talk)   00:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg I'm sorry, but a reference published in 1937 does not cover the entire 1930s. The hook needs to be more restrictive in its claim. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:59, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I disagree that the hook implies inclusiveness rather than at some point in the 1930s, but how about ALT1: "... that Father Bernard R. Hubbard, known as "the Glacier Priest," was called the highest-paid lecturer in the world in 1937?" The source noted by the reference was published in 1937 and makes no specific claim about when, so I did not wish to be too specific.  Acroterion   (talk)   20:12, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * "At one time during the 1930s the highest paid..."? There's a fine line between being unspecific and between inflating the source. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 11:16, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * ALT2: ... that in 1937 The Literary Digest described Father Bernard R. Hubbard, "the Glacier Priest", as the highest-paid lecturer in the world?
 * That's more or less literally what's in the article and the source.  Acroterion   (talk)   19:15, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
