• Hi Evrik, here is my review. This article is new enough and just about long enough, QPQ completed. I am quite surprised at the standard of this article from an editor of 15 years. You have a long unattributed quote lifted from the Nighthawk source. Why don't you rewrite that? Although, I don't think many of the sources used are really RS. I wouldn't support leaving in the Nighthawk, Altbongo or Reddit sources, and all the others look shakily self-published. As for the proposed hooks, the first one doesn't seem to work because it says why the ceremony happens but not what it is, but ALT1 seems acceptable. Sourcing it from a blog, though... I would like a second opinion from another editor on this review before progressing. Rcsprinter123 (drone) 13:18, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Rcsprinter123: Thanks for catching that citation error. I placed a citation on the quote. As for RS, I went with the best sources I could find. I can look for others.--evrik ^(talk) 14:52, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, looking for others would be helpful. I might suggest finding some offline sources for something more reliable, since this is something with a basis in history. Could books about scouting or even old contemporary reports give information about this ceremony. Rcsprinter123 (note) 14:57, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Rcsprinter123: I reordered the sourcing, using mostly the most reliable sources. There are no "news" sources. --evrik ^(talk) 04:47, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you, Evrik. It's time for a new reviewer to see what they make of it. Rcsprinter123 (parlez) 15:01, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

• At first glance, most of the citations need dates @Evrik:. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:08, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

• Dates added. --evrik ^(talk) 19:27, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

• OK. Date and length fine. I'd slightly prefer a more independent source but I am going to AGF that it is independent enough. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
