 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article was a redirect, is now long enough and supported by inline citations. AGF on book citations. I had a go with ALT1, as I didn't understand the proposed hook and think the Underground Railroad has much more significance than the Glasgow Emancipation Society. Open to any other hooks that can be proposed, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muboshgu (talk • contribs) 20:51, 4 July 2015‎ (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed for ALT1 hook, since it was proposed by previous reviewer Muboshgu; I have struck the original hook since I also don't understand its point, which renders it puzzling and not in an interesting way. It would also be worthwhile to check for neutrality and close paraphrasing, neither of which was mentioned in the original review (not all sources are unavailable).

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Approving ALT1 hook. I did my best to verify that there was no significant close paraphrasing, but as per BlueMoonset, it is difficult to do so considering that most sources are offline. Neutrality does not appear to be a concern.  Go  Phightins  !  19:59, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
