 * Hi, I've reworked that part of the article as to summarize what was in the source as opposed to following it closely like it did before I changed it. Thanks for pointing it out to me. JC7V (talk) 22:05, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, I want to just tighten up the hook to reflect the 2 sources (Caves of GB at www.showcaves.com and Windmill Hill Cave at Historic England) that back it up and then replicate it in the article. So the proposed alternative is:
 * ALT1: that ... Windmill Hill Cave, which provided the first scientifically accepted proof that humans and extinct British animal species coexisted, was found accidentally by John Lane Philp as he was looking for a pickaxe that he lost while doing home construction?
 * If you're happy with that, I'll review the rest of the article again just from a COPYVIO point of view and see if I still need some help. Bermicourt (talk) 20:13, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Hi, I've added the Alt 1 that you suggested (with the added source) and I also fixed all of the issues in the article that you mentioned. JC7V (talk) 21:21, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I added more references for the hook. The main article was cleaned up for copyright violations so it's shorter than it was before but all copyright is removed so there aren't anymore concerns. JC7V (talk) 02:51, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The copyvio elements have been removed and, having sought the opinion of the editor who dealt with that, I'm content this is now good to go. Well done. Bermicourt (talk) 17:08, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
