 * Symbol question.svg New enough and long enough. The article is neutral and written from sources. No QPQ required. The hook is interesting and accurate, though I have a minor quibble. The hook notes that the plan was scrutinized, "in part", because of the 1745 act. Is this talking about legal scrutiny, or the mix of legal/political opposition to the idea when it was floated? Yale didn't scrutinize the plan; it objected to it. The article itself only discusses Yale's objection, which rests in part on legal objections (grounded in the 1745 act) and in part on political objections. The hook as written doesn't make clear who is scrutinizing/objecting. Otherwise we're good to go. Mackensen (talk) 12:48, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Mackensen - thank you, I've proposed an alt hook. Chetsford (talk) 18:45, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks, that's clearer. ALT1 good to go. Mackensen (talk) 18:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
