Shaker-style pantry box
* ... that the belief was that the outside construction "fingers" to the Shaker-style pantry box (examples pictured) pointed right to show the Shakers' pursuit to rightness and heavenly perfection?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article new enough, long enough, and adequately cited. Hook short enough, interesting enough, and also cited. Article appears to be neutral and free of copyright violations and plagiarism. QPQ Confirmed. Nicely done! 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:05, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Should there be an 's or just an ' after Shakers's or Shakers' in the hook? I think so, but I am conflicted as to which.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:32, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Reply - looked it up and it should be Shakers without the " 's ". --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:15, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I defer to your preference. Changed your mind?   7&amp;6=thirteen (☎</b>) 13:35, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it should be apostrophe at the end with no additional "s". If it is wrong it will get corrected by "Chris the Speller" or someone like him.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:43, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Definitely Shaker pursuit of (not Shakers pursuit to).
 * However, I'm uncomfortable with using a commercial site as a source for the hook, however. It's a bit too pat and heartwarming to accept without a disinterested source, and you'd expect it to be mentioned in the Bronner source. (I looked briefly for another source, without success.)
 * Let me suggest
 * ALT1 ... that Shaker-style pantry boxes (pictured) are "associated with Shaker folklife because they express the utility and uniformity valued in Shaker culture"?
 * EEng (talk) 15:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT 1 is supported by both of the above-described sources. I still believe that the first source expressly supports the orginal hook, and the second source implicitly (in its totality) does too.   supports it too. But Doug Coldwell should let us know his feelings.   <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 16:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT 1 looks good to me and I would lean more towards this one, IF I had my draathers.--Doug Coldwell (talk)
 * The ALT 1 hook reference is --Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
