 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough. Long enough. No QPQ needed. Article relies heavily on one source, but it is a WP:RS, and widely available to anyone with a British public membership. Hook is cited, and checks out with the ref. All paras cited. Dup detector reveals no close paraphrasing or copyvios. NPOV. ALT1 added - just a shorter reworded version of the original hook.

That Field set up a foundation, and that it helped the Salvation Army, is true, but that the foundation was set up to do so is synthesis. I suggest ALT2 = "that Xenia Field helped to establish the first bail hostel in Britain?". Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:04, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Well spotted. I'm happy to sign off on ALT2. Should we link to bail hostel, as it may be an unfamiliar concept, even if the article on the subject is far from ideal? Edwardx (talk) 23:13, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
