John Crook (classicist)

 * ... that John Crook tried to get his colleagues to sing "Waltzing Matilda" in Latin, with the chorus for swag of "ambiclitella! ambiclitella!"?
 * Reviewed: not a self-nom
 * Comment: bit late, was muddled about the dates - sorry

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was a few days late to be nominated, but as I already denied one of the nominators other late articles i've taken some leniency on this one. Article is long enough and the hook is cited. Article is stable, with no disputes or obvious bias. No close paraphrasing found. Happy for this one to pass, despite the late nomination.

 * Symbol question.svg The paragraph under Early Life lacks a cite. It would also be more interesting to mention who John Crook is, in the hook. Yoninah (talk) 21:56, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Ref noted. How about:
 * ALT2: ... that Professor of Ancient History John Crook tried to get his colleagues to sing "Waltzing Matilda" in Latin, with the chorus for swag of "ambiclitella! ambiclitella!"? Yoninah (talk) 00:23, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Completely missed the lack of reference, my bad. Good to go now, preference for ALT2. Freikorp (talk) 01:59, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
