(

)

... that when Christopher Wren was appointed to rebuild St Paul's Cathedral, London, he was Savilian Professor of Astronomy at the University of Oxford?

Hi; I've reviewed your article and your DYK hook and have these comments:

Hook is short enough and interesting enough
Article is long enough
Article is new enough
I find no issues with the article or sourcing
While many or most of the sources are not available without a subscription, the source for the hook is available, and the hook can be verified

for the hook and article

Concerning the image:

the image has a licensing tag with which I'm not familiar; there may be some issue in the UK, but I don't think there is an issue in the US; I need some administrative help on this
the image is dark and lacks contrast. There is another version of the image that has better contrast. Could this alternate image be used for the DYK?

I like the article, and am interested in the subject matter.Sarnold17 (talk) 17:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I'm not that wedded to the picture and would be more than happy for this to run without it, so I've removed it. Bencherlite ^Talk 11:34, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
