The Big Treehouse
- ... that The Big Treehouse is a tree house that covers 5,000 square feet and has 12 levels that go up to five and a half stories tall?
- ALT1:... that The Big Treehouse is a tree house that has a long spiral staircase which contains 60 steps?

- Not very good sarcasm and not helpful either. My reasoning for that is for the wikilink alone. SL93 (talk) 17:12, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- If you think that the purpose of the hook is to let people know it's a treehouse, that's daft. SL93 (talk) 17:14, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
- Calm down. My point is that most readers know what a treehouse is, so that it's certainly unnecessary, in the hook, to state that a treehouse is a treehouse just for the sake of the link. People who don't know what a treehouse is can click through to the article.
- ALT2 ... that The Big Treehouse has 5,000 square feet on 12 levels five and a half stories tall?
- ALT3:... that The Big Treehouse has a sixty-step spiral staircase?

- I get your point now. It just wasn't obvious from your sarcasm. SL93 (talk) 04:18, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- I added back some of what you removed. I disagree and your reasoning for your removal of the host sentence was vague and I disagree that the builder is not lead-worthy.

Here's a formal review.
Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
Needs a new reviewer. No response from original reviewer after 7 days. SL93 (talk) 09:44, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
This article is new enough and long enough, only just long enough so I expanded the lead slightly. Either hook could be used, both being cited inline. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:34, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
