  • New article on a listed building is long enough, has inline citations throughout. Hook verified from online sources. No copyvios detected. Good to go! NinaGreen (talk) 20:43, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
  • I'd just like some clarification about the owners. Whilst it can certainly be said that the various illustrious gents owned the property, Willoughby used the property as a residential club. I'm not sure what exactly that means or what that might imply. Do we have any evidence that he resided there, so that we can say that it was his "home"? -- Ohc ¡digame! 03:24, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
  • As the owner of a residential club, it's probable that Willoughby de Broke spent time there overnight, but it is poetic licence to suggest he lived there, and I can find no evidence. Perhaps the answer might be to come up with an alternative hook. I'll see if I can think of something. Edwardx (talk) 12:24, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
  • I'm struggling for inspiration, so how about just dropping "Lord Willoughby de Broke" from the hook? Edwardx (talk) 18:20, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
There might be some inspiration in this article [1]. Perhaps the fact that he had his wife's bedroom redone so that the 'cabinets are fitted with sliding shelves, to bring the morning teatray over the bed'? NinaGreen (talk) 21:10, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you! I've expanded the article. How about:
ALT1 ... that Charles Voysey's remodelling of Garden Corner (pictured) in London ensured that politician Emslie Horniman's wife had sliding shelves, to bring the morning teatray over her bed? Edwardx (talk) 22:20, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Glad it helped. Since I suggested the hook, it's probably preferable to have another reviewer decide whether to approve it, though. NinaGreen (talk) 23:20, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Could another reviewer take a look at the ALT1 hook? Thanks. NinaGreen (talk) 16:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Alt1 hook is under 200 characters, in the article and sourced online at the end of the sentence. — Maile (talk) 17:19, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks, Maile. Article is now good to go with ALT1. NinaGreen (talk) 18:50, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
