  • All the online sources refer to it as a "tower house" rather than a castle. Gatoclass (talk) 08:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Good point; could potentially argue a tower house is a type of castle, but don't want to get into WP:SYNTH. To be honest I was partly based it on being featured in the a chapter called "Castles in the Modern Age", but even that doesn't explicitly refer to it as a castle. I've tweaked the article and added ALT1. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
ALT2 looks good, however, nowhere in the article does it say that he worked on the "restoration" of castles, only that he "worked on" them. Gatoclass (talk) 15:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
I just tweaked the article, hopefully for the better. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:18, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Everything looks good now. ALT2 is more informative so let's go with that one. Well done! Gatoclass (talk) 09:28, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
