The Norfolk Hotel (1865) on Brighton seafront

  • Both articles new, long enough, well referenced to mostly offline sources, some of which I'm aware of so have no reason to doubt their reliability. No evidence of plagiarism/close paraphrasing of the online sources. Hook length fine, interesting enough. One QPQ done. Image is free, looks good at small resolution, and is used in Norfolk Hotel. However, I wonder if I got here a little bit too soon...
  • The hook doesn't actually appear in either article in the form used above. In Norfolk Hotel, it's nearly there: inline-cited to AGF source, it reads called the rebuilt hotel "more beautiful than any other building in Brighton", which means the same, but as they're formatted as direct quotes, one of them must be wrong. The hook fact hasn't yet found its way into Goulty in any form;
  • The image isn't used in Goulty: a similar one is, but not the one above.
  • A minor thing: in Goulty, I think the Knights Templar bit should read something like "was a member of the Order of Knights Templar" and link to Knights Templar (Freemasonry) rather than the main article, which is about the mediaeval Templars. Please feel free to ping me once it's all sorted. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:25, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the review; I'll pick these up tomorrow (Thursday). Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 23:33, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
I typed the quote wrong on the hook (more beautiful than any other building in Brighton is the right wording) so I've fixed it above. Zigzig20s has corrrected the link to the Knights Templar and has added another ref for the relationship to Horatio Nelson; incidentally the webpage is merely a web-based extract of a book that was published on the subject, so the reliability of it should be OK. I've added the Moorecroft's Guide quote to the Goulty article. Another QPQ review will follow shortly ... I'll post details here when I've done it.

The other review is Template:Did you know nominations/Trivial name. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 14:03, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
  • All issues now resolved. Two interesting articles, good to go. I've removed the struck-out incorrect wording from the hook. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:12, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
