Atwood-Blauvelt mansion
...alternatively... Created/expanded by Y (talk). Self nom at 23:41, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that the Atwood-Blauvelt mansion in Oradell, New Jersey sits on land that once belonged to Andries Tebow, ancestor of New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow?
 * ... that the Atwood-Blauvelt mansion in Oradell, New Jersey was built for Kimball Atwood, whose Florida grapefruit plantation was the birthplace of the pink grapefruit?




 * 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: Symbol question.svg Hold for reference and hook fixes. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:24, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * 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". This is the ref used in the grapefruit article as well.  Search that page for "Atwood" -- Y not? 01:54, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
