- To me, Queen's University is in Belfast. The disambiguation situation re Queen's is odd. I would prefer the hook to refer to "Queen's University at Kingston" so there is no ambiguity. --kingboyk (talk) 07:10, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- kingboyk, thank you for your comment. I see what you mean and have changed the hook accordingly. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 07:16, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
- I should also have said: I prefer hook number 1. It catches one's attention - succinct, and still topical today. Hook number 2 doesn't grab me, as I have had not previously heard of either gentleman and I'm not convinced the hook would entice me to click through to read about them. --kingboyk (talk) 07:27, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, but perhaps the original hook would be best. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:41, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
