Length, history and reference verified, even after I fed the hook some irony pills (Full disclosure: I took the picture, although I had no idea it would be used for this article). Hopefully this makes the character count.
We could stand to make some further improvements. How about at least writing a proper intro? And using {{infobox religious building}} so we could really show off the picture. But it could go out rough-edged as is. Daniel Case (talk) 06:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review (and for providing the photo to go with the article). That hook is 210 characters (with spaces, which are supposed to count), which is about the same length as the hook I first drafted. I'm also a bit bothered by the two occurrences of "said." For the record, my original hook was: ... that the First Congregational Church of Litchfield (pictured) in Connecticut, now regarded as an iconic New England church, was replaced in the 1870s after it was said to have "not a single line or feature ... suggesting taste or beauty"? By the time I posted the nomination, I had trimmed my hook back to: ... that the First Congregational Church of Litchfield (pictured), now regarded as iconic, was replaced in 1873 after being said to have "not a single line or feature ... suggesting taste or beauty"? --Orlady (talk) 15:03, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
