 * ... that Rigby's Buildings (pictured) in Liverpool, England, is named after an alderman who came from humble beginnings, and made a fortune from public houses and hotels?


 * Hook: Short enough, AGF on offline source. Not that interesting, as it is all about the alderman. How about ALT1 ... that Rigby's Buildings (pictured) in Liverpool, England, is named after an alderman who gave it more grotesques?
 * Article: Long enough, new enough. Seems NPOV, image is licensed appropriately. Spotchecks seem fine. AGF on offline source.
 * Symbol question.svg Looks fine to me. Just need some feedback regarding the hook. Crisco 1492 (talk)
 * ALT2 ... that Rigby's Buildings (pictured) in Liverpool, England, is named after the man who made it more grotesque? violet/riga [talk] 00:17, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think one can say "made more grotesque" in referring to the architecture. I can already here the complaints at WT:DYK. (Although to be honest that was my first idea too) Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:16, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * "I'm afraid "more grotesque" won't do, because it is inaccurate. How about the following: not very good but short, accurate, and maybe quirky enough to get a few clicks:-
 * ALT3 ... that Rigby's Buildings (pictured) in Liverpool, England, was bought by an alderman who incorporated grotesques? or:
 * ALT4 ... that Rigby's Buildings (pictured) in Liverpool, England, was bought by an alderman who added grotesques? --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 08:53, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I prefer ALT4. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
