Bon Ton (brothel)
[edit]- ... that the brothel Bon Ton is described by BBC as "an ideal showcase for New Zealand-style liberalisation"?

On the whole, a pretty good article, and a nice enough hook, but there are a few concerns. The hook isn't referenced directly at the end of the sentence it is in, which I wouldn't normally quibble over, but given that it is a direct quote, I would like to see it. The sentence: '"Bon Ton" is a French word which means "good taste".' I'm slightly concerned about referencing this to the brothel's website, finding another source to back it up would be preferable. Also, "Bon Ton" is two words, not one, perhaps use "is a French term.." The article borders on sounding promotional and perhaps uses too many quotes, but I think the latter is certainly a stylistic issue that I'm not over concerned with, while the first is borderline enough that I'm happy to pass the article once my earlier concerns have been dealt with.

- I've added a reference directly at the end of the quote. The claim that "Bon Ton" is a French word which means "good taste" is referenced to Stuff.co.nz [1], not the brothel's website. --SupernovaExplosion Talk 05:20, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
