Charles Mackarness

 * ... that during the German bombardment of Scarborough in December 1914, Rev Charles Mackarness (who won the FA Cup in 1874) continued the Holy Communion service at St Martin's Church (pictured), despite the noise and damage to the church?
 * Comment: If I had realised the significance, I would have had this article ready for the 100th anniversary of the raid.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg. New article, long enough within policy. Good hook. FunkyCanute (talk) 18:33, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg  The hook is too long. Excluding (pictured), which doesn't count, it's 223 characters. The limit is 200. The hook will have to be trimmed or replaced with a shorter one. Also   the review doesn't specify what was done, such as a paraphrasing check.  M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  21:15, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed, hook is too long. With regards to 'what was done', that should be covered by my comment: New article, long enough within policy. Admittedly, there is a comma missing after enough, which perhaps doesn't make clear that the article is new enough, long enough and adheres to policy.FunkyCanute (talk) 21:35, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
