. The article is new (created on 26 March) and it is also long enough. It cites sources with inline citations and is free of close paraphrasing issues. My concern is that the referred source does not fully substantiates the hook fact. According to the cited source (and the article), Dudley specified that the revelation of the details would be "damaging to our profession" (that is, to PR). However, the hook could easily be interpreted that the revelation would be damaging to Wilson's fame.Borsoka (talk) 14:44, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- Borsoka - thanks for the catch, I meant to include that, not sure how I omitted it. Have proposed an Alt-1. DarjeelingTea (talk) 20:59, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
