 * Symbol question.svg. The article is new (created on 26 March) and it is also long enough. It cites sources with inline citations and is free of close paraphrasing issues. My concern is that the referred source does not fully substantiates the hook fact. According to the cited source (and the article), Dudley specified that the revelation of the details would be "damaging to our profession" (that is, to PR). However, the hook could easily be interpreted that the revelation would be damaging to Wilson's fame. Borsoka (talk) 14:44, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I made the same inference! Edwardx (talk) 23:04, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Borsoka - thanks for the catch, I meant to include that, not sure how I omitted it. Have proposed an Alt-1. DarjeelingTea (talk) 20:59, 8 April 2017 (UTC)


 * My concern is that ALT1 is too long. What about the following ALT? Borsoka (talk) 03:16, 9 April 2017 (UTC)


 * ALT-2: ... that Pendleton Dudley refused to talk about the work he did to launch Woodrow Wilson's political career?
 * Looks good to me, Borsoka! DarjeelingTea (talk) 20:25, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg. ALT-2 is good to go. Borsoka (talk) 00:46, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
