Waste House edit

Waste House on the University of Brighton campus
- ... that a house in Brighton (pictured) is made of floppy disks, VHS cassettes, bicycle inner tubes, old jeans and 20,000 toothbrushes?

- Comment: I will get better pics in the next few days or so when I bring my proper camera down the town and it's a bit sunnier.

New and long enough, all non-lead paragraphs have inline citations, content of the hook is backed with an inline citation to a reliable source in the article, QPQ review performed. Several checks for copyvio reveal no problems (properly quoted content in the article comes up, which is allowed). Image is properly licensed.
- As per the unique name of the house, I propose using it in the hook, rather than referring to it as "a house in Brighton". Also, materials used were not limited to those stated in the initial hook (e.g. as per this article), which as worded, creates an impression that the house was constructed using only those items. As such, I have provided an alt hook below. North America1000 06:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

- ALT1 looks good to me. As we had what must surely be the last day of summer weather today, I got some new pics; image above swapped accordingly (same licence). Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 21:18, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
- Adding a tick for ALT1, the facts for which appear in the article and are found in the sources given there. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
