Overall: Prefer ALT0 as the most interesting (especially with the image). I have put "roofless shell" in quotation marks because of its replication from the source; the nominator can decide whether to describe it in other words. Otherwise, everything looks good. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:39, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow and AirshipJungleman29: the phrase "a roofless shell" isn't quoted or attributed in the article, could that be rectified? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 09:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi theleekycauldron, sorry I hadn't spotted the change to the hook made by AirshipJungleman29. The actual quote is "a charred roofless shell", which I have now added to the article - Dumelow (talk) 10:52, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
