Reginald's Tower

 * ... that Reginald's Tower (pictured) in Ireland has served as a fortified tower, a mint, a prison, a military storehouse, an air raid shelter, and a museum?

 * Symbol question.svg Review: The article is long enough and has elderly but sufficient sourcing and a detailed description of the item. It still needs polishing annd some improvements. The references are rather short. The long and continous usage history is described in details but not as a overall feature, similar the role as important landmark. A statmenent like "the only monument in Ireland named after a Viking" is a to be proven, and b) likely not true, as "going viking" is an act, (similar as going postal) not a name of a tribe ;) In so far surely a possible nice DYK contribution, but still to be improved quality wise.

 * Hi Serten, since the original author Nmwalsh hasn't yet provided a source for the "only monument in Ireland named after a Viking" claim, I removed that sentence from the lead section. Is the article now okay? Thanks. FireflySixtySeven (talk) 20:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg. FireflySixtySeven, Nmwalsh has had some copyright issues, but so far, as I understood, not with that article. I have changed the lede, its not brilliant but OK now for DYK. Serten (talk) 21:21, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
