Reviewing...New enough, interesting, long enough. Take your time with a QPQ. May be
Philafrenzy can think of an alternative hook on Olivia/measles/vaccine/Dahl.

ALT2... that after Olivia Dahl died from measles, her father
Roald Dahl became an advocate of vaccination? It's tricky because he stated his views more than 20 years after her death and we need to keep the focus of the hook on the child not the father whose reactions form the core of the article.

copyvio issues because of a large quote. Reviewing again...I think ALT1 is clearest and more Olivia focussed than others. Hooks are in article and followed by inline citations to sources containing hook facts. Other tag issues resolved. @
No Swan So Fine:...I think the article might look better if the lead and beginning has 'a lead' followed by a section 'life' or 'biography'.

I would favour the original hook as Alt1 is a little banal and doesn't address the central impact of her death as forming his views on immunisation. It's also very topical right now. Agree it needs a proper lead and dividing into relevant sections now it has been moved. The second huge para needs breaking up. P.S. I doubt he spelled it with a "z" but that's what the source says so we will have to go with it.
