- ... that the Julia C. Lathrop Homes, one of Chicago's first public housing complexes, was designed by a "dream team" of architects and landscape architect?

- ALT1 ... that the Julia C. Lathrop Homes, originally developed as public housing for whites only, has become one of the most ethnically diverse housing projects in Chicago?
- ALT2 ... that residents and preservationists have fought to save the Julia C. Lathrop Homes from demolition by the Chicago Housing Authority? --Yngvadottir (talk) 20:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

new enough, long enough, all hooks check out but there should not be any red links in the hook fact and I would not put one in the reference either.--Ishtar456 (talk) 13:47, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
- That seems a bit odd to me. I could understand if the hook fact were hard to understand otherwise (in which case I'd explain in that sentence or a neighboring sentence in any case), and I know some people regard redlinks as a bad thing anyhow (I used to think they meant an article had been deleted, but someone pointed me to WP:REDLINK), but the only applicable rule I'm aware of is that the hook itself must not have a redlink in it. And the sources seem to think all those architects were equally prominent. A couple of them worked together so our future articles may more logically be on the partnership, but since we don't have an article on that either, I kept it simple.
