@Dumelow: New enough and long enough. I did change "chose" to "choose" in the hook and article; let me know if this is a British English thing (it looks odd to me). I can't see the Dictionary of National Biography so I must AGF on those. This will be an AGF tick when QPQ is supplied. Raymie (t • c) 04:58, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
