 * Review 1:
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was expanded long enough by ACP2011, the hook is cited. I have checked ffor COI issues, and there don't appear to be any. I wonder if a better hook can be found..? &tilde;danjel [ talk &#124; contribs ] 03:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Review 2:
 * Symbol question.svg Perhaps this would work as a better alternate hook: "... that William Green (pictured), who served as chief engineer throughout the Great Siege of Gibraltar, was later depicted in two paintings of the siege by John Singleton Copley and George Carter?" I think the hook as is isn't "hooky" enough, per WP:DYKR.  I don't perceive any bias, however.Cdtew (talk) 16:23, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I think this is fine to go with your suggested alternative hook (I've added some wikilinks and a spelling correction). Prioryman (talk) 22:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
