The Wreckage (Ocean Park, Washington)

 * ... that The Wreckage, built in 1912, is a log cabin which was completely built out of driftwood?

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article is of adequate length and new.  However the reference from the National Register of Historic Place Inventory does not specifically say that the cabin was built from driftwood.  It says that animal artwork, furniture and a sign were built from driftwood but not the actual cabin. If possible another hook should be found. - Shiftchange (talk) 11:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * ALT1: Symbol possible vote.svg ... that The Wreckage, built in 1912, is a log cabin which had its cement foundation obtained from a wrecked French barque? SL93 (talk) 13:13, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * (Alt. hook #2) How about ... that The Wreckage is a log cabin built in 1912 from materials that were salvaged from the shoreline?   Acroterion   (talk)   01:39, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

This needs a complete review. SL93 (talk) 01:31, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article meets all DYK criteria and the ALT2 hook is verified. (ALT1 isn't entirely valid, as the foundation is not only from that source.) However, I think the hook can be spiffed up to make it more interesting:
 * ALT2A: ... that The Wreckage is a log cabin built in 1912 from shipwreck debris and other materials salvaged from the shoreline? --Orlady (talk) 15:29, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Spiffier, OK with me.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:37, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT2A specifically approved; added end-of-sentence inline source citations in article to cover "shipwreck debris". (Struck ALT1 due to issue mentioned, and ALT2 because Acroterion thinks ALT2A is spiffier.) BlueMoonset (talk) 18:04, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
