  • Not sold on the source being used for the hook fact - suggest supporting with this. Also, would suggest removing actors from hook. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:26, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Have just pinged Dr. Blofeld. BlueMoonset (talk) 12:49, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Article was new enough when nominated, is long enough, and is amply footnoted. Hook fact sourcing problem has been resolved. However, article content is much too close to this source. I did not check other sources. Here's just one snippet example of the too-close wording I found: "Constructed of stone, it features parapet gables with ball finials while along the southern elevation is an Italianate ornamental veranda with stone pillar archways. This gives access to a walled, flagged terrace with circular pond and fountain." (source) vs. "The west entrance front of the house, and the south front facing the gardens, are of two storeys, roughly symmetrical, having parapet gables with ball finials. In the southern elevation there is an Italianate ornamental veranda with stone pillar archways, which gives access to a walled, flagged terrace with circular pond and fountain."

  • I gave it a bit of a copyedit. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:00, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Good to go following brilliant rewrite (far more than a copyedit!) by Rosiestep. I added "partially" to the hook for accuracy. --Orlady (talk) 14:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
