• Hehe; just a couple of hyphens where en dashes should be. Plus, of course, the hook length. It starts out about 305 characters, and even after applying rule C3, it's still about 255. ALT1 is an acceptable length; applying the same rule produces an effective hook length of 138. Now, I'm not suggesting anything (especially since the general mantra is "shorter is better"), but if you wanted to, you could expand on ALT1 by about 60 more characters to describe Zwijndrechtse nieuwlichters.

• For those who are a stickler about character count, here's an alt with 200 characters: ALT1: ... that Dutch author Louise Sophie Blussé wrote the memoirs of Maria Leer (pictured), a prophetess who, with former barge skipper Stoffel Muller, founded the Zwijndrechtse nieuwlichters, a Protestant sect with communist leanings? --Rosiestep (talk) 02:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

• Mandarax, am I still under? Thanks for your help. Rosiestep, do you mind my little addition? Drmies (talk) 22:30, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

• Drmies, don't mind at all. It's at 226 now, but I'm hoping the the reviewer recognizes that the difficulty in limiting an (interesting) hook with 4 articles to 200 char. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:08, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

• Not counting (pictured) and the bold text for the last three articles, the effective hook length of ALT1 is now about 165, which is perfectly fine. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 05:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

QPQ good, image free, no copyvio/close paraphrasing (AGF on the Dutch sources since I don't speak Dutch), everything new enough/long enough, neutral, and sourced. GTG. Emily Temple-Wood (NIOSH) (talk) 19:01, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
