5x expanded by PCN02WPS (talk). Self-nominated at 06:58, 24 January 2022 (UTC).
Hi PCN02WPS, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed from 24 January; article is well written; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing of the sources; the sources used look to be reliable enough for the subject matter; you will need to add citations to the two footnotes; ALT0 is mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; While ALT1 is mentioned in the sources it is only mentioned in the lead of the article (where it is not cited); you mention ALT2 in the article but it is cited only to Lad Bible which doesn't mention the million view figure; a QPQ is awaited - Dumelow (talk) 09:08, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: The first footnote has been cited and the I couldn't find any sources for the second (even though I could have sworn I saw some sources claiming it was four feet), so that one has been removed. ALT1 fact has been added to article body with a citation and ALT2's "million view" claim has also been sourced with the same reference used above in the hook. QPQ has been completed and linked above.

- Hi PCN02WPS, looks good. One query, from the photograph the outside of the house looks bigger than three feet. Do we know if the 3 feet quoted is the internal size? Bit wary of saying "three feet wide at its narrowest" if it is wider than this externally - Dumelow (talk) 09:43, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Dumelow, I hadn't thought about that. Obviously I think this nomination works really well as an image hook but if this issue prevents that I understand. I haven't found a source that specified whether the 3-foot measurement was external or internal, just that it narrows down to that width. This source, which I have just found, has a title and information in the article that suggest that the exterior tapers down to a width of "no wider than 6 feet", but again this is just a suggestion. If you think that this is reliable enough phrasing to determine that it is the external width, then I can update the article and the hook to reflect that.

Hi PCN02WPS, perhaps it's best that we just don't mention the size in the hook. I think it's fine in the article as the text reflects the sources. Realised I didn't mention the image in my first review, it is good and freely licensed. Approving ALT1 and ALT2 - Dumelow (talk) 07:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
