- Alt1 ... that Gabriel Wells' "The Great Omar" went down with the Titanic? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:45, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. However, I found the article to be rather sketchy on why he was "one of the most important antiquarian booksellers in America and Britain in the first half of the twentieth century" and did a little research, coming up with a huge slice of his life and work. I would appreciate a co-credit for this page. The hooks are both good, verified and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:57, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
