Maunsel House
[edit]- ... that Maunsel House has been the family seat of the Slade baronets since 1772?
Created by Rodw (talk). Self nominated at 14:00, 12 April 2014 (UTC).
Article checks out, and hook is neutral, definitely interesting, and cited. My one question is whether you can find a more reliable source than stately-homes.com to cite the hook (or if you can clarify the site's reliability, since I'm not an expert on the topic). Through one Google search I found a NYTimes article, which mentions the Maunsel House and 1772 but not the "family seat." If you can't find a better source, then perhaps slightly adjust the hook's wording. Almost ready. -- Wikipedical (talk) 16:33, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
- There are now about half a dozen refs for the claim - are any of those acceptable?— Rod talk 17:09, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
- Condé Nast (Johansens) is a reliable publisher (the others don't seem to be) which mentions the house is the Slade family seat. But it doesn't mention the year 1772. So please also insert the New York Times article (or another reliable source that mentions the year) as another inline citation, and this should be fine. -- Wikipedical (talk) 17:30, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
- I've added the NYT ref (I would suggest Somerset Life is probably also RS), but there are several others with that date already included for other items in the article so can reuse those if needed.— Rod talk 17:47, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Good to go. -- Wikipedical (talk) 17:55, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
