Jack Brooksbank

(

... that Jack Brooksbank, husband of Princess Eugenie, was not given a peerage following his marriage as there is no general precident for a commoner to be given one on marriage to a princess? Source: Town & Country

Reviewing. First impressions favorable but "precident" in the hook does not appear correct. "Title" could be wikilinked, hopefully to a specific article, as could peerage. Copyedit the hook please. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 16:27, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

@Frayae: Done. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:47, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Review was done by a sock, so a second review is needed. Yoninah (talk) 00:07, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Overall: First paragraph in the "Early life and family" needs a citation. Ancestry section also needs a citation or a note. Some close paraphrasing issues noted below. The hook is cited and interesting, but is too dissimilar in wording to the article. Overall a decent article, and will be approved easily with a couple quick changes. Flibirigit (talk) 01:50, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Paraphrasing

the phrase "who split their time between London and France's Bordeaux wine region." is too close to the original, here
the phrase "Brooksbank was general manager of Mahiki, the Mayfair nightclub" is too close to the original, here

@Flibirigit: I have made the changes and amended the hook slightly. I have removed ancestry because I cannot find something that reliably reports it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:53, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

All questions have been answered. Hopefully a source for ancestry can be found later on, and the section restored. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 14:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
