Length, newness, policy compliance verified. Hook interest, and fact verified. Missing citation for wife, and qpq. Dr. K. 08:20, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
- I don't think the hook right now is really spectacular: could a new hook be suggested, or something be added to it? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:40, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Edwardx and Dr.K.: The current hook seems rather pedestrian. Suggesting alternatives below: are these alright or should we try a different direction?
- ALT1 ... that William Marshall Cazalet (pictured), a real tennis player for Great Britain at the 1908 Olympic Games, was friends with Rudyard Kipling?
- ALT1a ... that William Marshall Cazalet (pictured), who played real tennis at the 1908 Olympic Games, was friends with Rudyard Kipling?
- ALT2 ... that a painting of British socialite and real tennis player William Marshall Cazalet (pictured) was sold at a 2007 Christie's auction for US$1.8 million?

- Thank you, Narutolovehinata5. The first hook might have been a bit better before someone linked "real tennis". I like ALT2, but "US$2–3 million" was the estimate. Going out now. Will look again later. Edwardx (talk) 12:21, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you Narutolovehinata5. Your suggested hooks look good to me. I like ALT1 in particular. When a final hook is agreed by Edwardx please let me know. Dr. K. 17:26, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you, Narutolovehinata5 and Dr.K., QPQ now done. The painting sold for $1.832 million, so I have added a ref, and tweaked ALT2, which is probably my favourite hook. Have also added a bit to the article (and an image of the painting) about Barbra Streisand donating a Sargent group portrait of his wife and children to LACMA, but that might be bit tenuous for DYK.
