Lowestoft Maritime Museum

... that Lowestoft Maritime Museum (pictured) is Britain's most easterly museum?

Comment: since the UK and Britain are not the same thing, the hook is not supported by the article (indeed, "United Kingdom" isn't mentioned in the article at all). BlueMoonset (talk) 04:28, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out that oversight. I have changed the hook from 'United Kingdom' to 'Britain' to bring it in line with the references. Britain/United Kingdom are obviously the same place - see the United Kingdom article on Wikipedia and this [1]. Jack1956 (talk) 09:34, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the change. I wouldn't go as far as "obviously", however: the UK article merely says "often used as synonym" (which implies it is sometimes not), and the link you gave is to an unsourced section of an article. In this case, it's best to avoid any ambiguity; Northern Ireland, for example, is in the UK, but might or might not be thought to be part of Britain. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:36, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - It's a bit too close to the museum's website, e.g. "The late Skipper Lieutenant ‘Bill’ Soloman’s contribution to the Society was recognised by a decision to name the new building the “Bill Soloman Room”."
I have rewritten this to avoid close paraphrasing. I do not 'cut and paste' when writing my articles. Rather, I read the source and summarise and rewrite in my own words. However, occasionally a sentence may stick in my memory, as seems to have been the case here. Jack1956 (talk) 08:05, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
Other problems: - The sources are perhaps all too promotional. Try adding some sources from a book search, e.g. Front-Line Suffolk.
I have added a couple of additional sources Jack1956 (talk) 08:05, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Interesting:
Other problems: - Lowestoft is the most eastlerly place in the UK so that's a general feature of places there. I was more interested in the place's history as HMS Europa, HQ of the RNPS, but the original hook might work better for most people.
Although there are several museums in Lowestoft the maritime museum is the most easterly as it is actually on the seafront Jack1956 (talk) 08:05, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

QPQ: - The QPQ wasn't well done as the hook was pulled for problems. Another QPQ to make amends would be a good gesture.

Overall: I added the obvious picture as it's quite an attractive place. Andrew D. (talk) 17:56, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

I have looked at the nominator's responses and updates to the first review and am content that enough has been done now. Special thanks for doing the second QPQ. Andrew D. (talk) 19:34, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
