Battle of Mag Femen

• ... that the arrival of reinforcements led by Ragnall ua Ímair turned the tide of the Battle of Mag Femen?

• This is a well researched, thoroughly educational and entertaining article. New enough (nominated on day of creation) and twice long enough. The article is written in a neutral manner, each paragraphed is well sourced, and there was no close paraphrasing or any other copyright concerns. QPQ is complete, and there is no image to evaluate. My question is regarding the hook. The hook meets all format requirements, should be interesting to anyone with a mild interest in general or military history. The problem is that the hook doesn't quite match the article, specifically it needs a qualifier because at least one of the citations directly contradicts the claim of the hook. If a qualifier were added (something like "some historical sources state that..." or "...Ragnall ua Ímair likely turned the tide..." then this nomination should be approved. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 13:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

• Ah, I see your point. How about:

• ALT1 ... that according to the Annals of Ulster the arrival of reinforcements led by Ragnall ua Ímair turned the tide of the Battle of Mag Femen? Retroplum (talk) 20:07, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Very nice, approve ALT1. This is directly attributable to the source. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 21:48, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
