 * (AWAITING QPQ). Wouldn't a better hook include Demos not being sure if he'd taught King, & writing to ask? Too many short paras in career section. Earwig says 26.5% Violation unlikely - only standard jobs titles & basic phrases picked up. New enough, long enough, neutral. Hook checks out, though personally I'd expand on the letter in the text. One of the quibbling alligators at WP:ERRORS or the many other places they lurk may complain that we only have King's word for it he got an "A" ....Johnbod (talk) 03:02, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
