  • I'd suggest dropping "lock stock and barrel" as the Main Page prefers more dialect-neutral terms, and I don't think the emphasis is necessary. I get what you mean, but there may be people who don't get the term. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:11, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
  • That's why I linked it. I thought it had a nice ring, but I have changed it. Marrante (talk) 15:31, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
  • I agree that it's interesting, but probably not worth the hassle. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:37, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
  • I've added an ALT1 hook that I should have thought of before. It doesn't bring out the great work she did, but it's kind of funny. Marrante (talk) 19:09, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Just a heads up – I'm thinking about making this a double nom, adding Bunce Court School, which I will hopefully be finishing today. Marrante (talk) 10:22, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Changed my mind. I'm going to leave this as is and just nominate the other separately. Marrante (talk) 20:39, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
