1: Article Thomas Gapes, readable prose size 3,281 characters, PDF citation confirms hook, although it is not placed beside the actual claim. Good to go, Poeticbent talk 21:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

2: Article James Gapes, readable prose size 5,571 characters (948 words) also well referenced with hook supported by the same PDF inline source. Good to go. Please take a look at my ALT1 for grammar. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 21:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... that despite the family being of rather humble origin, Thomas Gapes and his father James (pictured) served both as Mayor of Christchurch?

• Thanks for the review. ALT1 is indeed a much better hook, but you've swapped the father and son labels, which I have fixed. Schwede66 09:16, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

As this is a two article hook, before approval was given there should have been two QPQs listed (as per rule H4). Could you list a second QPQ, please? Thanks. SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks for noticing it, SagaciousPhil. Schwede66, would you please add a quick second review please? Poeticbent talk 13:54, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

• I've added a second review. Schwede66 21:05, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

re-instate Poeticbent's DYKtick as my query has been addressed. SagaciousPhil - Chat 06:43, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
