Bristol High Cross[edit]
- ... that Lord High Treasurer, William le Scrope was beheaded at the Bristol High Cross?

This new article has sufficient length, and was posted here within the time scale. The hook is nice and direct, at 82 characters. Material is supported by inline referencing throughout (the reference supplied for the hook uses a common alternative spelling of "Scroop"—this is completely acceptable). The image for the hook is free-licence, but does the status of File:Edward III from Bristol High Cross at BL.jpg need to be clarified? If I am interpreting the policy correctly (not a given) at present it is submitted as {{PD-old}}, but it is dated 16 January 2012. Photographs of three-dimensional objects almost always generate a new copyright, so all that would be required is for the poster/copyright holder, who seems to be the creator of the article, to attach a free licence to his image. Otherwise, all looks good, and a nice contribution!--Old Moonraker (talk) 16:47, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- I have amended the licensing as you suggest. Andrew Davidson (talk) 01:02, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the fix. Happy to send this on its way! --Old Moonraker (talk) 07:17, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- That's what gives the hook its bite! Reference fixed. --Old Moonraker (talk) 14:32, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
