Leaning Tower of Toruń
[edit]
... that legend has it that a monk of the Order of Teutonic Knights was ordered to build the Leaning Tower of Toruń (pictured) as punishment for falling in love with a woman and meeting her in secret, with the tilt of the tower signifying the deviance of his conduct from the rules of the Order?
- Reviewed: Not self-nomination
- Comment: This was an AfC draft which I copyedited before accepting; the sources are all Polish. It would be good if someone who knows Polish could look it over.

- Sorry BlueMoonset, Yoninah, I didn't realize this had been reviewed. I have a couple of alternative hooks:
ALT1: ... that legend has it that a Teutonic Knight was ordered to build the Leaning Tower of Toruń (pictured) as punishment for falling in love with a woman, with the tower's tilt signifying his deviant conduct?(202 characters, including "(pictured)")
- ALT2: ... that legend has it that a Teutonic Knight built the Leaning Tower of Toruń (pictured) as punishment for falling in love with a woman, with the tower's tilt signifying his deviant conduct? (187 characters, including "(pictured)") FireflySixtySeven (talk) 03:18, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Full review needed now that hooks of valid length have been proposed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:23, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
The article conforms to the DYK criteria of newness and length and the image is appropriately licensed. I have checked the sources with Google Translate and the only objection to its approval is that one paragraph is completely unreferenced. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:14, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth, I have now added a couple of sources to the unreferenced part. FireflySixtySeven (talk) 08:42, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
Now good to go with ALT2. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:05, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
