  • Length, tone, date all fine. Interesting article. However the key citations for the hook are from Herefordcathedral.org, which I think is questionable in terms of independence.  Tigerboy1966  20:49, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
  • no response for 7 days. Nom needs to do review.--Ishtar456 (talk) 23:37, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't really see why the cathedral website cannot be used to support the article. That would be like saying you can't use the British Musuem website or its publications for an article about the British Museum. As far as I can see, church websites are regularly used to support church articles, not to mention hundreds of historical sites with their own website. As an example, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Moscow) passed FA last month, and cites the cathedral website. If that passed FA, which is far more rigorously checked than DYK, how can this be blocked for citing the cathedral website? Simon Burchell (talk) 11:45, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
  • OK - looks like I misunderstood the nature of the objection. Thanks for clearing that up. Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 07:44, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
  • These ALTs don't use the church website. -- Esemono (talk) 00:58, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
ALT2 looks good to me. Acceptable off-line source. There are some online sources, for example this one which could be added. Tigerboy1966  07:45, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Happy with ALT 1 or ALT 2, with preference for the latter.  Tigerboy1966  09:25, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
