 * Comment: That hook is a hodge-podge of words. Try something like ALT1... that Swami Vivekananda (pictured) wrote To the Fourth of July on the anniversary of United States' Independence and incidentally died on the same date four years later? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:27, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * ALT1 okay! --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 14:31, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Alright (since I suggested the hook, the current consensus is that I can't review it...). I'd strike the original — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:34, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Long enough, well-cited, hook's good, article's new and the picture is PD. Good to go. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:49, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep the wording to the title of the page. IE- "United States' Independence" not America's...Lihaas (talk) 19:55, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Made changes above. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 01:43, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * As a military historian, I have to note that the United States declaration of Independence was on 2 July, not 4 July. Tweaked hook slightly. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:49, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
