NB: Hook ref for "pulled apart" currently #43 Johnbod (talk) 14:06, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Article expanded more than 5x. Images are PD but needed some licensing-tag work, which I've done. Hook is interesting and under 200 characters -- citation is in order. No close paraphrasing issues. QPQ satisfied. One recommendation: Instead of saying the manuscript was "pulled apart", which is sort of a fuzzy term than can easily imply that the manuscript was torn or otherwise damaged, you might want to say 'divided into parts'. Your call. Article is good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 16:37, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
