• ... that Nicholas de Sigillo, Archdeacon of Huntingdon from around 1164 to after 1187, may be the same person as the donor of a Great Bible to Lincoln Cathedral?

• ALT1:... that Nicholas de Sigillo succeeded the medieval chronicler Henry of Huntingdon as Archdeacon of Huntingdon around 1164?

• Length, date, original hook all verified. Can't verify ALT1 as article is missing inline citation for the sentence which corresponds with that hook. All paragraphs have refs; all refs are RS. No apparent paraphrasing issues. Interesting hook; length is fine. QPQ is done. Good to go. --Rosiestep (talk) 00:47, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

• The citation for the alt hook is on the following sentence - I generally don't think it's a good idea to duplicate citations on every sentence... Ealdgyth - Talk 02:01, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

• It generally isn't, but for DYK it's a requirement that the hook fact be cited by the end of the sentence it's in. That sometimes means the same citation two sentences in a row, but an article has few hook facts that need the extra level of citing. ALT1 can't fly without it, unfortunately.

• If folks want ALT1 ... they can add the citation in, but it appears folks like the first hook fine enough also... so I'm not really going to add in the citation which I'll just remove when/if I go to GAN with this. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:46, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

• Sounds reasonable to me! It'll be up to the person who promotes this nomination to a prep set, then. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

• Yep, let's stick with original hook. The only reason I made the mention regarding the missing ALT1 inline citation was so that someone else didn't come along and bring it up later. As far as I'm concerned, it's a non-issue, folks. --Rosiestep (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
