 * Article - created new on 29 September, so new enough; 2680 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; earwig doesn't seem to be working this morning; and assessed as start class.
 * Hook - within length criteria at 154 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #2 in last sentence of 'Appraisal' section; and interesting.
 * I had a minor concern that "rectangular plan with a free-standing altar" was thrown up by dup detector but, to be honest, cannot think of how else it can be worded; having given it some thought I think it's a standard phrasing so should be okay (it is also used in the hook). If anyone feels it should be within quotes, fair enough....

Interesting article, I'm also intrigued with the church being described as "unshakeably redolent of a sports hall and boiler chimney" which seems to aptly describe many construction trends in that era. SagaciousPhil  -  Chat  09:37, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
