- Hook: Short enough, interesting-ish, fails verification. The source says "may", it's not a definite thing.
- Article: New enough, long enough. Referencing issues. What makes teaneck.patch.com a reliable source? Also, references need access dates. Paraphrasing looks okay.
- Summary:

- Thank you for reviewing my submission. Point taken on the first hook. I've struck it. Can we go with number 2? Patch.com is not a reliable source per se, but the author of the article printed there, Kevin Wright, is a past president of the Bergen County Historical Society. That's plenty good enough for me. -- Y not? 01:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- Alright, sounds like he passes WP:SPS for the mansion. Is there independent verification that this was the first pink grapefruit? I don't think he'd pass WP:SPS for horticulture. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:48, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, here's the grapefruit reference - it's a book, "Fruits of warm climates" -- Y not? 01:54, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
