@Crisco 1492: First of all, this article is excellent. I'd suggest nominating it for GA. Anyway, it's new enough, long enough, and meets core content polices. Both parts of the hook should be directly cited though. --Jakob (talk) 17:02, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Alright: 1864 and 1870 directly reffed (six years, right?), as has the gift to King William — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:49, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay, AGF Dutch source. Good to go. --Jakob (talk) 11:41, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
