• Article qualifies as new GA; appropriate sourcing and no copyvios detected; QPQ done. Both hooks are only partly supported by the Wikisource bio, but the Winfield bio is assumed to cover the rest. I've italicized HMS Aurora to match appropriate style. Otherwise, both hooks are good; I personally prefer the main hook over ALT1. RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:46, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
  • Quick update: Italics fixed (I forgot HMS should not be italicized). RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:49, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
