Interesting article and interesting hooks. I have struck ALT2, as I feel it is misleading: the 128 seat toilet only lasted around 200 years. The others are all approved though. The article was nominated in time, and is plenty long enough. There is no evidence of close para-phrasing or copyvio. Good to go. Harrias ^talk 15:11, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
