  • The first hook and the article needs to contextualize James Kent for a lay audience (who is he/why is he important?). The ALT hook sounds like the quote is coming in Wikipedia's voice, so I'd steer away from that. The article looks good and the source is being accepted in good faith, as I can't access it. Earwig says that a copyvio is "unlikely." With the hook tweaks, this should be good to go. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 15:39, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Hi @The ed17: Thanks for the review, much appreciated. I have now specified that he was a 'jurist' and former chancellor of New York (in the article). To keep the hook brief, I have just mentioned 'jurist' in ALT2. Does that work? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
    • ALT2: ... that writing of the books of Joseph Kinnicutt Angell (pictured), jurist James Kent asserted that "No intelligent lawyer could well practice without them"?
      • ALT2a: ... that writing of the books of Joseph Kinnicutt Angell (pictured), legal scholar James Kent asserted that "No intelligent lawyer could well practice without them"?
      • @Kavyansh.Singh: Could you go with "legal scholar"? That's also a descriptor from Kent's article, and I think that's better understood than jurist. Sorry for the nitpicking here. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 17:45, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
