 * Symbol question.svg New: Check. Length: Good. Policy: Good. Hook: The fact used in the hook needs to be followed immediately in the article with a citation. Abyssal (talk) 19:15, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I replicated the citation tag to follow the statement. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 21:06, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg This is basically good to go, but I don't think the hook as phrased makes it clear that Northup had been free and then kidnapped to be forced into slavery as opposed to just being a regular slave. Do you have any ideas on how to polish it? Abyssal (talk) 16:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
