Created by DrOrinScrivello (talk). Self-nominated at 16:21, 28 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/American Viscose Plant Historic District; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough and plenty long enough. Hook fact checks out and is rather interesting. @DrOrinScrivello: I would look at [2] and try to reduce the close paraphrasing in a few passages to the NRHP nomination form. Also leaving A1 and A2 for you to use as well and to help others verify the hook. Just needs to not have some of the phrases paralleling the nomination.

- @Sammi Brie: Thanks for your review. I believe I've taken care of the worst of it, if you'd like to take a look. What's left is mostly names of organizations. Thanks again. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 18:52, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Looking better. From experience, you have to be careful when running parallel to an NRHP nomination form like that. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:07, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
