Carling Campus

 * ... that at one time Nortel's Carling Campus in Ottawa, Canada, represented the city's aspirations of becoming a technology hotbed?
 * ALT1:... that covert listening devices were discovered at the Carling Campus, the future home of National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa, Canada?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Long enough, new enough, well cited, didn't notice close paraphrasing or other problems. Regarding the hook, given that the citations don't agree on the bugging (one article says former employees claimed there were bugs, another says no devices were found) how about this for an alt?
 * ALT2:... that Carling Campus, the future home of National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa, Canada, was rumored to contain covert listening devices?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Unsigned review, and it's unclear which of the two original hooks were reviewed (and whether one or both have problems). Need someone new to check the new ALT2 hook, plus another opinion on the original hooks would be nice. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:11, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
