@Dumelow: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Earwig comes in a bit high to the Oxford Mail source—which seems like very important binding material for everything else; though some items like "president of the Oxford branch of the Burma Star Association" and "that he was a member of 44 committees" are toughies, I think there's more rephrasing to be done. The hook is fine. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:04, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Sammi Brie, thanks for the review. I've taken another pass through but there's not much I can do about the appointments which are generally "[position] of [organisation name]" - Dumelow (talk) 07:18, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Of course, and that's fair. I think it's ready. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:29, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
