 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Image is pd. QPQ done. However, the hook fact is not cited in the article (it needs a cite at the end of the sentence). Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair point. I've moved a citation from the end of the paragraph to the end of the sentence. The citation doesn't mention him being "only 18", merely "In 1883, Liberty formally established a Furnishing and Decoration Studio under the direction of Leonard F Wyburd". So, he might have been 17, but no older than 18, which is "hooky" enough. Edwardx (talk) 10:50, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks, Philafrenzy, for the offline ref which covers the hook fact. I added the location to the hook for those who aren't familiar with the store. Offline hook ref AGF and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:13, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
