Students' Building

A three-story brick building with a cupola on top on a sunny summer day

Moved to mainspace by Bobamnertiopsis (talk). Self nominated at 20:05, 13 March 2015 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Sufficiently new, long enough, neutrally written, cites sources, prose is well written and accessible. I think the blurb could use revisions, however, as Christ Church in Alexandria is not George Washington's exclusively, but a church that Washington (and others) once attended. Therefore my suggestion is to come up with an alternative blurb such as "the Students' Building is modeled after Christ Church of Alexandria, Virginia, a church once attended by George Washington?" Colipon+(Talk) 17:34, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review! Is this better? Also, I still gotta do a QPQ which I'll do ASAP. BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 22:32, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
  • You are welcome. How certain are you that Washington "frequented" rather than having simply "attended" this church? I think there is a subtle but important difference, and the current article of Christ Church does not necessarily suggest that Washington attended on a regular basis, but only that he was there occasionally. Colipon+(Talk) 15:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Sorry if I am being a bit picky but I have had some negative experiences not doing my due diligence for DYK in the past. I did some research myself and found this on the official website of Christ Church which says that George Washington did in fact attend this church, and I am ok with taking this as a RS. So your existing blurb is fine but you may want to go ahead and add this as a reference in the Christ Church article just so we cover all our bases. Sincerely, Colipon+(Talk) 02:46, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Once that is done, this is good to go! Symbol confirmed.svg Colipon+(Talk) 02:47, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Template:Ping per Rule H2, you cannot approve a hook that you yourself wrote. Could another reviewer take a look at this? Yoninah (talk) 23:51, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg OK, I'll do the review. ALT2 is hooky but is not cited inline. The cite belongs after this sentence: He trekked to Alexandria to study the interior and exterior of the church and ultimately the designs for the Students' Building, his first public plan, were inspired by its architecture and features. Yoninah (talk) 21:52, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Great. What about the page name? Yoninah (talk) 22:02, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
  • For the ref? It's cited to Daniels 1987, p. 47. Or am I misunderstanding? BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 22:06, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
