 * Bummer; this needs a new hook. The source has got in wrong, as it wasn't the first Normal School in NZ. The one in Dunedin opened a few months earlier. I'll ask Rosie to look after this, as I'm off on holiday now.  Schwede  66  20:03, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


 * ALT1 ... that Cranmer Court (pictured), Samuel Farr's most famous design and a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category I heritage building, is currently being demolished?  Schwede 66  21:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Definitely OR, but not all units were red-stickered. Some were (in fact still are) yellow stickered "RESTRICTED USE", 8/3/11 from what I can read. It'll be gone in a couple of days. Internal structural damage fairly minor, looks touch and go for economic repair cf an ordinary building, facade simple enough to tie in, heritage status has been erased by CERA hence irrelevant. --219.88.199.192 (talk) 12:20, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I have mentioned the nine modern town houses in the article.  Schwede 66  17:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Presumably the townhouses are green-stickered. I wouldn't go in without a camera... 122.57.98.210 (talk) 10:43, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

 * ALT2 ... that Cranmer Court (pictured), Samuel Farr's most famous design and a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category I heritage building, has recently been demolished?
 * Demolition is now complete, so I've updated the hook accordingly.  Schwede 66  18:48, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is now ready for DYK with the ALT2 hook. It is new enough and long enough and the different parts of the hook are referenced Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:01, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
