• Comment: Just a question. Is the hook only cited to the webpage with a 1998 copyright date? I haven't run into this before to know whether the source's age is even a problem. I think the hyphen should be removed after drastically since it's an -ly adverb. It might be better to change "turn of the 20th century" in the article to "early 20th century" for clarity. Turn of the century explains the problem well. EricEnfermero ^HOWDY! 09:26, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

• Yes, when looking at it I think you are right.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:31, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review. I removed the "drastically" hypen in the hook, and made the "early 20th century" change in the article. I don't know if the 1998 copyright date is a problem; if you think it is, we'll come up with another hook. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:06, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
