 * ALT 2 ... that reading historian Charlotte Zeepvat`s 2000 work Romanov Autumn has been described as being "like leafing through a Victorian lady's scrapbook"? The current wording is not grammatical. --Ishtar456 (talk) 00:31, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure about the "reading" part, but otherwise it works for me. Thanks,  Ruby  2010/  2013  02:36, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I assumed the work was of writing, therefore the verb "reading". In any case, there needs to be a verb: _____ is like "leafing....etc". --Ishtar456 (talk) 21:06, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I guess that works then. Thanks for the copy edit!  Ruby  2010/  2013  04:43, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Just observed the International Women's Day category at the bottom of the nom page. I think this article would be a good candidate for March 8, but I'll leave that judgment up to others.  Ruby  2010/  2013  19:44, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg new enough, long enough but I think your Alt is the most interesting hook and I had a problems with the citation of the fact. You do not mention that Prince Leopold was a heamophiliac in the article.I would like to suggest that you add that in the discussion of Leopold in the article and change the hook to:
 * ... that historian Charlotte Zeepvat`s first book, published in 1998, was about the haemophiliac youngest son of Queen Victoria, Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany?
 * If you make the suggested changes, I will sign off on this.--Ishtar456 (talk) 23:16, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have inputted a reference for the prince's haemophilia. However, I prefer the original alt hook, as I think it is less confusing at first glance (as it mentions the subject, Leopold, before the Queen):
 * ... that historian Charlotte Zeepvat`s first book, published in 1998, was about Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, the haemophiliac youngest son of Queen Victoria?
 * I tweaked it slightly. Thoughts?  Ruby  2010/  2013  23:34, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I replaced the original hook with the agreed upon alternative.Symbol confirmed.svg Ready.
