Article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been provided. I didn't find any close paraphrasing. Unfortunately, none of the hooks proposed are suitable at the moment. For one thing, except for ALT2, all of them are lacking footnotes at the relevant sentences. Secondly, as much as I like history and know who Max Weber is, none of the hooks seem to be hooky or important unless you have a knowledge of history or the social sciences. I'm also not a fan of ALT0 not just because it seems specialist but also because it seems to focus more on his wife than the subject. If there's any hook here with potential, it's probably ALT4, but the current version is a bit hard to read and the point of the hook, while I understand it, might not be easy to get by other readers.

I moved a number of citations up to the relevant sentences. The fourth hook was also altered. ―

I could also get rid of the "who had married his widow's sister" part of the sentence and change "her" to "his widow". ―

The current wording is also rather clunky so anything to make it more readable would be good.

I made the suggested changes. ―

I like the idea of ALT4 but it might be too confusing for some readers, too many repetitions of "he" making it a bit hard to follow.

I was beginning to wonder if that would be an issue. In any case, it has been resolved. ―

That should do it. Only ALT4 is approved; I don't have access to the source so AGF.
