- I added ALT1a, to make it clear that the execution is the unexpected twist and not his status as a slaveowner. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 00:36, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- I like it better than any of mine; thanks. — AjaxSmack 20:47, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough, neutral, and well referenced. Approving ALT1 or ALT1a which are interesting and cited. AGF for close paraphrasing and source verification. The supplied QPQ review is from 2020 but doesn't appear to have been claimed before. 97198 (talk) 11:23, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- What do you mean by "AGF for close paraphrasing"? I can try to address it. — AjaxSmack 14:29, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- "Assume good faith", because I can't access the majority of sources and therefore can't check. Nothing you need to worry about. 97198 (talk) 07:36, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- I figured out the AGF, but was wondering about the "close paraphrasing". — AjaxSmack 16:24, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
