Velaslavasay Panorama

 * ... that the first full-circle Arctic panorama in the United States since the nineteenth century appeared at the Velaslavasay Panorama in Los Angeles in 2007? Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velaslavsay_Panorama#cite_note-1

 * As the source for the hook claim is not online, please could you provide a quotation from the cited source. Any "first"-type claim needs careful scrutiny before being used in a hook in case the fact is challenged.

 * I actually meant quote the cited source here on the nomination template, but no matter. Its not clear whether the source was referring to the US or to the world. However the source does mention that the Velaslavasay Panorama is the "first fixed full-circle panorama of the Arctic" so we need "Arctic" in the hook claim. It might be best to have a different hook altogether because "first"-type claims are always tricky to get right, and this one is a bit nebulous. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:24, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm happy with adding Arctic -- have done so in the statement in the article as well as in the claim -- I think that adds to the interest, and unlikely to be challenged -- the fact that the VP is a revival of a long-dormant subject and format is the most notable thing about it. Hope that makes sense. Clevelander96 (talk) 16:55, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Should not the hook say 2007 rather than 2001? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:23, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, now that we've limited the claim to Arctic panoramas, that's correct. Thanks for catching that -- I've corrected it. Clevelander96 (talk) 18:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
