 * Thanks for reviewing. How about

ALT1..that the once popular double tracheotomy tube was invented by Georgian surgeon Ralph Smith O’bré?

ALT2..18th century Irish surgeon Ralph Smith O’bré invented a one time popular tracheotomy tube?

It is ok for me to have done QPQ. Whispyhistory (talk) 06:05, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * How about: ALT3 ... that Ralph Smith O’bré invented a double tracheostomy tube that was popular among surgeons in Georgian Dublin?
 * I don't think we should worry about people understanding tracheotomy tube, most people know what a tracheotomy is and can infer what a t-tube is or click through. (It's fine for co-author to have done QPQ in my experience) Philafrenzy (talk) 08:19, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification on the QPQ! I prefer ALT3, as ALT1 and 2 imply that the device is no longer popular today (which would require separate sourcing). I agree with your logic, Philafrenzy; thank you for addressing my jargon concern. One last thing: the source uses the term "tracheotomy tube," though aren't they typically called "tracheostomy tubes"? Is this a spelling/terminology mistake in the source?― Bio chemistry 🙴 ❤   02:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I think you are right and in fact there is an Tracheal tube which I have linked. Philafrenzy (talk) 05:57, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I suggest keeping the WL to the tracheotomy page while keeping the wording of "tracheostomy"; currently, tracheotomy tube and tracheostomy tube redirect there (even though the term "tracheostomy tube" is preferred). The term "tracheal tube" includes endotracheal tubes, which are of a different sort. Thus:
 * ALT4 ... that Ralph Smith O’bré invented a double tracheostomy tube that was popular among surgeons in Georgian Dublin?

 * OK. Since the hook wording is unchanged I think you can tick it if you are happy. Philafrenzy (talk) 13:08, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Just thought I'd run it by you first! (: Thank you for your patience! All problems resolved. ALT4 Symbol confirmed.svg ― Bio chemistry 🙴 ❤   13:14, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
