 * 1: Symbol confirmed.svg Article Thomas Gapes, readable prose size 3,281 characters, PDF citation confirms hook, although it is not placed beside the actual claim. Good to go, Poeticbent  talk  21:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * 2: Symbol confirmed.svg Article James Gapes, readable prose size 5,571 characters (948 words) also well referenced with hook supported by the same PDF inline source. Good to go. Please take a look at my ALT1 for grammar. Thanks, Poeticbent  talk  21:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the review. ALT1 is indeed a much better hook, but you've swapped the father and son labels, which I have fixed.  Schwede 66  09:16, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

As this is a two article hook, before approval was given there should have been two QPQs listed (as per rule H4). Could you list a second QPQ, please? Thanks. SagaciousPhil  -  Chat  13:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
