Length, date, hooks (both original and ALT1) checks out. Main source which supports the hooks requires subscription, so assuming good faith on hook and plagiarism. But I'd add File:Sir_Hugh_Garrard_Tyrwhitt-Drake.jpg and have a slight rewording on the original hook to avoid the U.S.-centric "x-town, y-state" wording, thus ALT2 that Sir Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake (pictured) was mayor of the English town of Maidstone twelve times and kept lions, tigers and elephants in his garden? --Soman (talk) 08:13, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
