Fred Henry Andrews

[edit]
  • ... that artist Fred Andrews was known as "The Baron"?
  • ALT1 ... that artist Fred Andrews made thirty thousand roof tiles for his house himself?

  • Length and age check out, sourcing is offline - accepted on good faith. However, the hook is not explicitly cited within the article... I might also quibble with it in general as it doesn't state who knew him as the Baron or why, nor does the article. WormTT(talk) 15:26, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
  • The article is still being expanded — the nomination had to be done hastily to satisfy the 5-day rule. Anyway, I have expanded on the matter of the nickname and included a citation which has a url so the source can be read more easily. I have added an ALT hook above too.

  • Well, it looks good to me. on main hook, no copyright concerns based on the online source seen. on ALT1, a much better hook in my opinion. WormTT(talk) 14:48, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
