  • Reviewing...long enough, new enough, interesting, referenced. Hook in article and followed by inline citation with hook fact. Will complete soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:28, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg...QPQ done, no copyvio issues, not a stub, image ok and out of copyright, both proposed hook and ALT1 pass. Where it says "said to be oldest"...should you say who says so? As always, a pleasure to read your work Template:Ping. Thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Thanks Whispyhistory. It is from a Yorkshire Post article but I suspect it is a local tradition/folklore type thing. We can change to "was reputedly planted in the Roman period" or similar, or just go with ALT0. I don't mind. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 13:25, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
em...2nd thought...leave it as it is. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:32, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
