 * Source: The hook is in the lead but not sourced anywhere in the article.—Biosketch (talk) 02:43, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Needs to be sourced, per my comment below. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Article
 * Length: —Biosketch (talk) 02:43, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Vintage: —Biosketch (talk) 02:43, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Sourcing (V, RS, BLP): Referencing includes rather bare URLs. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Neutrality: Aymatth2 (talk) 13:35, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Plagiarism/close paraphrasing: Spotcheck is fine. AGF on offline source. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Copyvio: Image is cited to Geograph Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Obvious faults in prose, structure, formatting:

Comments/discussion: To the nom: please either duplicate the part about "used by high society and celebrities who did not marry in church" later in the article with a reference, or else indicate what the source is for that claim in the lead. Also, you should review another nomination.—Biosketch (talk) 02:43, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, it would be good to explain what was meant by "in the church": In the Catholic church? In the Church of England?  In any Christian church? --Slashme (talk) 11:59, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

I have reworded the hook so that it conform to the intro in the article. Lumos3 (talk) 15:39, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry for giving you a hard time with this, but the hook still isn't sourced anywhere in the article.—Biosketch (talk) 09:12, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have not cited a source in the introduction as per WP:LEADCITE guidance. Its use as a celebrity registry office is mentioned in all sources, especially the Museum of London one in the paragraph on weddings. I have added the Encyclopedia of London one to this paragraph to back this up. Lumos3 (talk) 08:13, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If the hook fact is not in the body of the article, it should be cited in the lead. That is both DYK and (as far as I know) Wikipedia policy. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:01, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Sourcing needs to be cleaned up. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:12, 16 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Instead of trying to find a source for all of the specifics in the original hook, let's try an alternative version of the hook that is more clearly supported by sources:
 * ALT1: ... that Caxton Hall in Westminster, London, was the venue for many high society and celebrity weddings, including marriages of two Beatles, a future Prime Minister, and several movie stars? --Orlady (talk) 19:53, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 good to go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:22, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
