Epidemiology in Country Practice[edit]

(

)

... that in Epidemiology in Country Practice, William Pickles described tracing 13 cases of jaundice to a country maid, including a man who often went "in the back door in the evenings, and helped her wash up"?

Changed helps to helped for the sake of the hook.

New enough, long enough, neutral, no copyvio. Made some copyedits. I ask for an alternate hook, please, because the current (ALT0) one is a little difficult to interpret without having read the text in the article. QPQ done. Hameltion (talk, contribs) 02:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

* ALT1... that William Pickles's research for Epidemiology in Country Practice traced 13 cases of jaundice to a country maid and a man who went "in the back door in the evenings, and helped her wash up"?

Great! Good to go with a preference for ALT1. Hameltion (talk) 23:42, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks @Hameltion: Sorry to trouble you again, but on reflection I think those hooks are just too hard to understand. How about:

ALT2... that William Pickles's research for Epidemiology in Country Practice traced 13 cases of jaundice to a country girl who was determined to attend a fête while infected with the disease?

ALT3... that following his research for Epidemiology in Country Practice, William Pickles observed that "studies in epidemiology sometimes reveal romances"? Philafrenzy (talk) 08:55, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Okay – both of those work. Hameltion (talk, contribs) 12:03, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks both. ALT3 is better and most accurate. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:21, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
