 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is a five-fold expansion and is long enough and new enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I have tweaked the hook a bit. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I find the first part of the hook misleading. The sources are calling it a quote-unquote "secret service" (one actually puts it in quotes), so I put it in quotes in the article. But I think the hook isn't sharp enough. What do you think about:
 * ALT1: ... that Henry Ludington helped General George Washington create a spy ring to gather information on British troops during the American Revolutionary War? Yoninah (talk) 21:44, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT1 is great and I would like to go with this.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thank you. Pinging  for review of ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 22:03, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't think American Revolutionary War needs to be linked(?)--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:43, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 will be fine. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:24, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
