5x expanded by BethNaught (talk). Self nominated at 12:48, 4 August 2014 (UTC).
- REVIEW STARTED. 5x expansion start date recent enough. Long enough (467 increased to 2699 characters). Edwardx (talk) 18:39, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for starting a review so early, @Edwardx: but you haven't edited this in a couple of days. Is there something else I need to do before you can approve it? BethNaught (talk) 12:29, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
The citation for the hook, his Telegraph obituary, states that "it was pointed out that his signature - "I. Grist" - signified Jesus Christ to Welsh speakers". "I Grist" actually translates as "to Christ". I've added an ALT1 which I think is clearer and more accurate. Dup detector on the two main sources reveals no significant close paraphrasing or copyvio. Article is well-cited, including the ALT1 hook. NPOV. No QPQ needed. Edwardx (talk) 14:08, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- To be honest, I don't know a word of Welsh, so I must have read a bit too much in. ALT1 is indeed better, using the same word as the source. I see you've modified the article accordingly and made some other fixes – thank you. BethNaught (talk) 14:48, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
