... that although Old Pine Church (pictured) in Purgitsville, West Virginia was built in 1838, the earliest burial sites in its cemetery date from as early as 1759?

Comment: There is a lot of content in this article, so please feel free to share suggested alternative hooks. I'm partial to ALT1, but I'll leave the final decision up to the reviewer. -- Caponer (talk) 12:33, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

This article has become a GA sufficiently recently and is (unsurprisingly) long enough. Both hooks are well sourced and the image is suitably licensed. I considered the matter of close paraphrasing, and although some of the text is very close to the Scaffidi source, I think it is just about sufficiently different to be OK. After all it is difficult to express such a technical phrase as "nine-over-six double-hung sash wooden window" in a different way. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:06, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
