Sylvia Sayer[edit]
... that Lady Sayer, described as a militant conservationist, interrupted live firing exercises in an army range on Dartmoor to photograph damage done to ancient monuments?
5x expanded by Smalljim (talk). Self-nominated at 17:03, 4 September 2015 (UTC).
Article nominated within 7 days of 5x expansion beginning, plenty long enough, well cited, neutral enough, and no evidence from the sources I can access of plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The hook is interesting, short enough, and both hook facts are accurately cited inline to articles in The Times which I can access via their digital archive. QPQ done.I wonder if the hook might be "hookier" if the described as a militant conservationist bit were omitted? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:44, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
