• ... that despite collecting plant specimens not to identify new species, Harold Harrington was the first to collect a species that would be named for him?

• That's really stilted. How about: ALT1:... that even though Harold Harrington hadn't intended to collect new plant species, he was the first to collect a species that was later named for him? DS (talk) 01:26, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

ALT1 violates WP:N'T. I plan on reviewing both of these in the next 18 hours.--Launchballer 20:21, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Long enough, new enough. The facts check out for both hooks; it just needs tweaking. Both QPQs check out and Earwig is clean for both articles. {{Botanist}} probably shouldn't be where it is on Harold Harrington and I think it should be moved.--Launchballer 04:23, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

@Launchballer: thanks for the review! I didn't add the botanist template and I've removed it as it strikes me as a peculiarly formatted one. When you say the hook should be tweaked, are you talking about phrasing? ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:00, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Got it in one. (If I suggest something, I'll want to add something, which would require another reviewer.)--Launchballer 05:04, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Let's try ALT2 on for size:

• ... that Harold Harrington did not seek out new species but was the first to collect a plant named for him?

Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:23, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: The fussing is appreciated! Here's ALT3:

• ... that Harold Harrington did not seek out new species but was the first to collect a plant that was later named for him?

Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:18, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• Per Launchballer, everything was fine except the hook, which is now fixed, so we're good with ALT3.DS (talk) 18:21, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
