  • Comments on the hook only. 1) delete the distracting bit about firing someone 2) tone down the main claim, because the article's claim is less confident than the hook's, which isn't right. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:39, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
  • ALT1 looks good. And I've reviewed the article and made some tweaks. It looks good, too. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:07, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

NB I put a clarify tag into the article that needs resolving. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 10:06, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Still think hook is overly long and complicated. Too many names! Why not just this:

ALT2 ...that Richard Saltonstall Rogers (pictured), a political enemy of Nathaniel Hawthorne, has been suggested as the inspiration for a character in Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter?
