... that Leonard Wyburd was the first head of Liberty's Furnishing and Decoration Studio (pictured) in the West End of London, aged only 18?

New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Image is pd. QPQ done. However, the hook fact is not cited in the article (it needs a cite at the end of the sentence). Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Fair point. I've moved a citation from the end of the paragraph to the end of the sentence. The citation doesn't mention him being "only 18", merely "In 1883, Liberty formally established a Furnishing and Decoration Studio under the direction of Leonard F Wyburd". So, he might have been 17, but no older than 18, which is "hooky" enough. Edwardx (talk) 10:50, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Philafrenzy, for the offline ref which covers the hook fact. I added the location to the hook for those who aren't familiar with the store. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:13, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
