 * Symbol question.svg I was preparing to promote this, but on looking at the article, I think the hook is misleading. The hook suggests his employer built the house for him and this is not the case. Please could you suggest one or more alternative hooks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:27, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg That's fine. Replacing Maury Markowitz' tick and striking original hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:14, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
