Tom Oppé[edit]

  • ... that Tom Oppé produced a report for the British government in 1974 recommending that babies be fed with breast milk rather than formula? Source: [1]

  • New enough (created March 11), long enough (2,786 characters). On neutrality, the second line of the lead, "He is regarded as a pioneer in children's health services and infant nutrition" is not cited to anything in the article; I might suggest replacing with a line about the specifics of his work in pediatrics and perhaps mentioning that he was made a CBE for it. Article is well-cited and doesn't seem to be in violation of copyright. Hook is 140 characters long, cited to and in refs 4 and 5, and definitely interesting enough. I'd suggest linking formula in the hook to the infant formula. QPQ done. @97198: all that's needed is to address the neutrality concern. Best —Collint c 14:55, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
  • @Bobamnertiopsis: I've added citations for that sentence in the lead, and linked formula in the hook. 97198 (talk) 03:54, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Looks good, hook is good to go! —Collint c 05:17, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
