• In the first hook, it is unclear who "he" is in this quote: whose inscription thanked him for all his work. According to the article, "he" is the publisher. Anyway, I suggest this change to ALT0. Otherwise, I think ALTs 0/2 are more interesting than ALT1.
  Or, you could suggest a different rewording. epicgenius (talk) 16:02, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Thanks for conducting this review  :) Now, what do you actually mean, ALTS 0/2?! — fortunavelut luna 16:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant either ALT 0 or 2. I think ALT2 is more clear than ALT0. Do you want to go with ALT0 anyway? epicgenius (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: No problems, #2 is fine, what eve you think best  :) many thanks! — fortunavelut luna 17:23, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Confirm ping to epicgenius- that one ****ed right up. — fortunavelut luna 17:24, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

I guess ALT2 is clearer, so I'll just go and approve that. Nice work on that article, BTW. epicgenius (talk) 17:46, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
