Dawpool (house)

Created by Peter I. Vardy (talk). Self nominated at 17:15, 17 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Article created on December 17, 3,013 characters. Article is neutral, cites in-line sources well, attributes quotes about the house to their authors in-line with WP:INTEXT. Both hooks lie under the 200 character mark, are interesting. According to [1], Ismay did not found White Star Line, but purchased it for £1,000. I would prefer "in" be changed to "from" in the first hook, as it's a year range. Source supports first hook. Source also supports second hook. No images; the reviewed article links to a review by another user. I'm putting this on hold until nominator reviews another hook, and nominator fixes Ismay's role in relation to White Star. Seattle (talk) 23:31, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Fair point. I've amended the article and the original hook. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:51, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
Template:Ping Have you made any progress on reviewing another hook? Seattle (talk) 23:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
Template:Ping Not sure what more you want me to do. I'm OK with any of the hooks. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:58, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Template:Ping I want you to review a proposed did you know hook article per the QPQ rules as established under Wikipedia:Did you know#Eligibility criteria rule No. 5. You never edited the Suquamish Museum proposed hook; can you show me where you reviewed it? Don't be so brash. Seattle (talk) 10:09, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Template:PingActually, having over 500 successful nominations for DYK, I am aware of the QPQ rules. You ask where I did the review; try here. And if you look here you will see that the hook appeared on the Main Page on 21 December. From your user name and user page I guess that we come from opposite sides of the Atlantic, and maybe we are divided by our "common" language. Perhaps not where you are, but certainly here the word "brash" is a bit on the rude side. Wiktionary defines it in the following terms: impetuous, rash, insensitive, tactless, impudent, and shameless. Is it the same where you are? Of which of these were you accusing me? In reality, I think you made a mistake by looking at the wrong nomination, and in this season of goodwill to all men, I send you best Christmas wishes. --Peter I.

  • It's a commonplace that houses slated for demolition get cannibalized for parts.
ALT2 ... that Thomas Henry Ismay's wife said that Dawpool had "served its purpose in keeping [her husband] amused for fifteen years"?
