... that the mayor of Philadelphia, John Morin Scott, responded to the 1842
Lombard Street riot by mostly arresting black victims? Source: During the 1842 Lombard Street riot, Scott and Philadelphia constables responded to the violence by mostly arresting black victims (
reference-page 266)
ALT1: ... that the mayor of Philadelphia, John Morin Scott, attempted to stop violence against Catholics during the 1844
Philadelphia Nativist Riots but was struck in the chest by a rock? Source: Scott... pleaded with rioters to spare the destruction of St. Augustine Church.(
reference-page 366) He was hit in the chest with a rock thrown by protestors (
reference webpage)....
ALT2: ... that John Morin Scott was the first mayor of Philadelphia elected by popular vote? He was the first Philadelphia mayor to obtain the office through popular election rather than by appointment of the city councils.(
reference-page 348)....
Long enough: - not 5x expansion; before expansion, 534 characters. Current version at 2276 characters, but needs 2670 characters. Someone can double check my math, please.
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Overall: All hooks are good, but let's go with ALT0. I'd like another reviewer to check for length. Excuse the pickiness, but according to my calculations, this article needs ~400 words to be eligible.

Figureskatingfan: Thank you for the review. I'll wait for another reviewer to weigh in on the length of the article. Just to clarify my stance - using the character count tool from the DYK toolbox - the article on 9/28 (excluding infobox, so copying body copy text from John Morin Scott to Laurel Hill Cemetery) is 851 characters. 5x would require the article to be 4,255 characters. Measuring the article on 3/23 using the same tool and excluding infobox (copying text from John Morin Scott to final mention of John Morin Scott in Personal life section) shows a character count of 6,497 which meets the 5x requirement. Thanks!
