  • that Henry Ludington is identified with the first secret service in America and had under his control several of the first spies to help the American cause for independence?

Source is Reference #19: "This is a true story of what might be termed the "secret service."

5x expanded by Doug Coldwell (talk). Self-nominated at 10:25, 25 April 2017 (UTC).

  • This is a five-fold expansion and is long enough and new enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I have tweaked the hook a bit. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I find the first part of the hook misleading. The sources are calling it a quote-unquote "secret service" (one actually puts it in quotes), so I put it in quotes in the article. But I think the hook isn't sharp enough. What do you think about:
  • ALT1: ... that Henry Ludington helped General George Washington create a spy ring to gather information on British troops during the American Revolutionary War? Yoninah (talk) 21:44, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
  • ALT1 @Yoninah: is great and I would like to go with this.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:59, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
