  • Date, length, hook all OK. Article well cited. Hook confirmed by online source. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:44, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

ALT1 The text of the article does not say it is now called "Dame Bradbury's School".
ALT2 Dull compared with the original hook in which the quote is the interesting bit. And, if it's an English institution, should it not be "satirised"? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 16:58, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
    • I've added a link to the history page of the current Dame Bradbury's School which speaks to the continuity of the institution. I'm personally quite fond of the original hook, though; Nashe's satire of Harvey is very amusing, including his claim about Harvey's use of the knife he had for sharpening his quill pen. I'm OK with changing the spelling to 'satirised', although I see the online OED has the entry under 'satirized'; but either spelling is fine with me.NinaGreen (talk) 17:17, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
  • I agree with the nominator that the original hook remains the best. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 17:24, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
  • No reason to let this linger any longer: the original hook is still good enough! —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 16:13, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
