)

• ... that in The Hardships of the English Laws in Relation to Wives, Sarah Chapone compares the legal situation of married women in 18th century England to slavery? "... the Estate of Wives is more disadvantagious than Slavery itself." (p. 4)

• The articles are long enough and new enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. I prefer the original hook. SL93 (talk) 17:54, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

• @SL93: the original hook is a serious sea of bolded blue. How would you suggest reworking that? Yoninah (talk) 00:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: I didn't consider it as such because there are only two blue links. I guess ALT2: ... that in her legal treatise, Sarah Chapone compares the legal situation of married women in 18th century England to slavery?
• ALT2a ... that Sarah Chapone compares the legal situation of married women in 18th century England to slavery in her legal treatise? SL93 (talk) 00:56, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• @SL93: thank you. I guess we'll go with ALT2a. But the lead in The Hardships of the English Laws in Relation to Wives is too short. It should summarize the contents of the work. Yoninah (talk) 01:15, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: I think it's done. SL93 (talk) 01:20, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• @SL93: Why should you do this? Let the nominator fix it please. Yoninah (talk) 01:43, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: I did it because there was only one ping in your comment. SL93 (talk) 01:45, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't mean for you to do it, I just wanted to alert you that the article is not up to snuff. I pinged the nominator now. Yoninah (talk) 02:00, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• @Yoninah and SL93: Does this take care of the concerns with the lede? I'm really sorry for any trouble I've caused; thanks very much to SL93 for addressing the problem that Yoninah flagged in the hook. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 02:51, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you, AleatoryPonderings, that certainly reads better. Restoring tick for ALT2a per SL93's review. Yoninah (talk) 12:02, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
