- ... that Montpelier Crescent in Brighton was unusually built facing the South Downs instead of the sea—but this view was blocked within ten years by Vernon Terrace (pictured)?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Enrico Glicenstein (which was also a double hook)
- Comment: Both created on 26th. Various images are available in both articles; the one shown here is the best of the "overall" views.

I don't see the hook fact "was unusually built facing the South Downs instead of the sea" actually cited or stated in the article - the relevant sentences appear to be "The houses lacked a sea view, as they faced northwest towards the open land of the South Downs. The crescent was completed in 1847; within ten years, the downland vista had been obscured by the construction of Vernon Terrace opposite." - which doesn't state that the siting was unusual. Otherwise, size checked out for both articles, they both were created and posted here within 5 days of their creation - hook is interesting and cited (except for the issue noted above) and of correct size. Image checks out. QPQ has been done. AGF on the sources - they are mostly offline. Does not appear to be a copyrvio from a google search of three sentences from each article.

- Thanks for your review. I needed to include ref [2] in a couple of places. The specific statement was in the Architecture section, but I have reworded and referenced. Diff is here. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 08:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
