QPQ: - Not done

Overall:

Waiting for QPQ, looks good otherwise. The ref #17 contains some better describtions of Moore getting a "kick out of" listening to people comparing him to dictators, maybe that can be added and used in a hook?

Suggestion: ALT2: ... that urban planner Robert Moses could not stop laughing when listening to protestors he encountered while planning the Clearview Expressway in New York City during the 1950s?

Or maybe something not connected to Moses at all like:

ALT3: ... that New York's Interstate 295 was renamed "The 77th Infantry Division Expressway" in 2003?

@SoWhy: Thanks for doing the review, and sorry about the delay in responding. I guess ALT2 is fine. I will do a QPQ by tomorrow. epicgenius (talk) 02:16, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@SoWhy: I have finished my QPQ. epicgenius (talk) 16:05, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I was on vacation.

Looks good now, personally I prefer ALT2 but ALT0 and ALT1 are acceptable as well. I'll let the editor compiling the prep choose which they think is best. Regards So Why 08:14, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
