Our Lady Of Victory Church (Inuvik)

 * ... that the igloo-shaped Our Lady of Victory Church (pictured) has been called the most photographed building in the Canadian Arctic town of Inuvik?


 * ALT1: ... that the "Igloo Church" (pictured) is the only major building in the Canadian Arctic town of Inuvik that does not use pilings in its foundation?
 * ALT2: ... that the circular design and domed roof of Inuvik's igloo-shaped Our Lady of Victory Church (pictured), were responses to the possible effects of frost heave?
 * ALT3: ... that construction of Inuvik's "Igloo Church" (pictured) began without a building permit since Canadian government officials could not understand the untrained architect's blueprints?

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting building, on good sources. Many hooks, but all a bit longish for my taste. Could we just say that the church is nicknamed Igloo Church? Nice licensed image, a great illustration. Article: can we say that a parish is a church, when "church" means a building? The caption is too long for the Main page. - Detailed article, could become a GA, I think, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have shortened the caption and reworded that sentence of the article intro so it makes more sense using "parish" (which I inherited when I began expanding the article). I think we could still get away with using "Igloo Church" in quotes (that'll get clicks) along with the bit about the building permit ... hence ALT3. If you think any of the other hooks would work that way, let me know. Daniel Case (talk) 03:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I changed the caption further, - we don't need to know if the image is from 2015 or 2010. If I word a hook we'll need a new reviewer, but I can shorten yours ;)
 * ALT4:... that construction of Inuvik's circular "Igloo Church" (pictured) began without a building permit? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:56, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with this. I do think, though, that now that you as reviewer have suggested a new hook which I as the original nominator agreed to, we need the formality of a second review. So ... Daniel Case (talk) 22:50, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Per above. Daniel Case (talk) 22:51, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think we do because it's a subset of an approved hook, but you never know with DYK rulez ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:01, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Stepping in to give this nomination a tick, because it's unlikely to get promoted without one. The article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The ALT4 hook is cited inline and I hope the image (which is appropriately licensed) is used. The article is neutral and seems to be free of copyright issues.
