 * Symbol voting keep.svg Length, date, hooks (both original and ALT1) checks out. Main source which supports the hooks requires subscription, so assuming good faith on hook and plagiarism. But I'd add File:Sir_Hugh_Garrard_Tyrwhitt-Drake.jpg and have a slight rewording on the original hook to avoid the U.S.-centric "x-town, y-state" wording, thus ALT2 that Sir Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake (pictured) was mayor of the English town of Maidstone twelve times and kept lions, tigers and elephants in his garden? --Soman (talk) 08:13, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
