... that in 1801, the Scottish inventor and music teacher Anne Gunn was granted the first British patent for a musical board game? Source: Raz, Carmel (2018). "Anne Young's Musical Games (1801): Music Theory, Gender, and Game Design". SMT-V. Society for Music Theory. 4 (2). (Videocast journal, URL https://vimeo.com/278344604 , event at 00:36 )
So, I've checked this against the criteria. It's new, long enough, and neutral. Everything's cited to books, so I can't check for paraphrasing, but, I can AGF.
I checked whether the subject existed, and found [1] - so, check on reliability.
Hook checks, but it's actually way understated. The source says first British patent for a board game, which is a much bigger thing. Since the point is a hook, I'd suggest removing the word "musical"?
The article creator and main contributor has been promoting Anne Gunn and related to Swedish, Scottish and so on. And hiding the promotion intention through editing other articles. And the references are lack of notability and lack of resources.
Yes, I'm sure they have a vested interest in promoting a long dead person. PRAXIDICAE💕 19:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
