Ace of Clubs House
[edit]- ... that according to local lore, Texarkana's Ace of Clubs House (pictured) was built with $10,000 won in a game of poker with an ace of clubs? Source: [1][2][3][4]

- Article is new enough and long enough (1916 characters (322 words)). It is written in a neutral tone. I have marked one of the sources as a deadlink, however there are still several sources for the claim made in the hook & other claims within the article. No evidence of copyvio or close paraphrasing & Earwig's tool shows no problems. The image is suitably licenced. QPQ done. I found the hook interesting (reminded me of Midford Castle) but I note that "clubs" links to "Clubs (suit)" which redirects to Suit (cards) which could be tidied. I think it is "Good to Go".— Rod talk 10:52, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, Rod. The Texas Forest Trail link apparently just broke (along with a number of other pages on their website); it is still indexed by their internal search function, and I've e-mailed them to alert them to the problem. Hopefully, they'll be able to fix it. Regarding the link to clubs (suit), I'm hoping to "future proof" the link in case either a subsection of the suit (cards) article or an entirely new article are developed dealing with clubs. If you disagree with what I've done, I'd be happy to change it, but I just wanted to let you know I did it intentionally (and give my rationale). Thanks again for your review!
