 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article's title is J.H. Curle but the hook uses James Curle. Also this reference shows that he travelled "about 1,85,000 miles". I think, it would be better if it is added in the article as well in hook. RRD (talk) 17:27, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I added "about" to the article and the hook. Not sure about the name, I thought it read more smoothly with the name in full? Philafrenzy (talk) 19:22, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The last four publications are neither linked nor sourced. RRD (talk) 13:56, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Done. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:24, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article expanded 5x times, QPQ done, cited and interesting hook, use of fair images, article follows all guidelines. RRD (talk) 08:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks but now I look at it again the source also says he averaged 50,000 PA so that doesn't make 1.85m. I think I should come up with another hook. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:17, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * ALT1 ... that Scottish mining engineer in South Africa, James Curle, thought that the white race was being out-bred by other races?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Review needed of ALT hooks since original hook has been struck. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approving ALT1 as the better of the two new hooks, otherwise relying on Royroydeb's review. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:27, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
