Philemon Holland[edit]
- ... that Philemon Holland claimed that he wrote out the whole of his translation of Plutarch's Moralia with a single quill pen?

5x expansion verified (actually it looks like about 6.6x not counting the block quotes). The hook is short and interesting enough, and the new article and its hook are well sourced, with one exception: two claims about the quality of his translations at the end of the "Works" section, left over from the pre-expansion version, need either proper sourcing or removal. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review! I tracked down the online sources used by the earlier editor, and have now added citations for them to the article. NinaGreen (talk) 21:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for fixing this. I think it is good to go now. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:37, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
