|comments = {{ping|Relativity}} Nice work. ALT0 is good. I'm not sure ALT1 works however as the source only says that it is ''Arnold's'' only monument on American soil whereas the hook seems to apply to ''all'' American traitors. I also thought of another potential hook that might be decent: ... that '''[[Boot Monument|a boot]]''' is the only monument in the United States to traitor [[Benedict Arnold]] because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"? That would require another reviewer, though. Let me know what you think; but ALT0 is good to go. |

Overall: 
@Relativity: Nice work. ALT0 is good. I'm not sure ALT1 works however as the source only says that it is Arnold's only monument on American soil whereas the hook seems to apply to all American traitors. I also thought of another potential hook that might be decent: ... that a boot is the only monument in the United States to traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"? That would require another reviewer, though. Let me know what you think; but ALT0 is good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
