... that Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand, once stood on his head for Sir Martin Gilliat?

New enough. Long enough. NPOV. QPQ done. Dup Detector and Earwig's Copyvio Detector reveal no close paraphrasing or copyvios. Hook is good and cited. All paragraphs are sourced. The source confirms the hook, but the look to Google Books does not appear to take us to the correct page, so just that to be fixed. Edwardx (talk) 22:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Thankyou, I've fixed the page sourcing, and amended the hook to better reflect the book and Gilliat's most commonly used title. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 22:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

I've seen the page using Google Books, so I know that the book confirms the hook, but none of your new links take us to Google Books, let alone the correct page. Perhaps you could have another try? Edwardx (talk) 23:01, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

I thought I'd convert it to the standard offline book cite as the pages match up, but I'll cite the hook to the GoogleBooks page. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 23:06, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Your reasoning is quite sound, of course. I just think it makes it easier for anyone else in the DYK process to quickly check the reasonableness of the hook by being able to see the relevant page online. Thank you for doing that. Good to go. Edwardx (talk) 11:40, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
