Cottonwood Limestone[edit]

(

)

... that Cottonwood Limestone from Kansas was used to build landmarks like the Kansas State Capitol, Great Overland Station, or Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium (pictured)?

ALT1:... that the University of Kansas Memorial Campanile (pictured) is made of Cottonwood Limestone, which was once known as Manhattan Limestone?
Comment: the alternate hook (ALT1) would need the University of Kansas Memorial Campanile image instead of the Great Overland Station image.

I am open to selection of a different image from among those in the article; the color and massiveness of the Cottonwood is the source of it's impressive beauty in monumental constructions. The Memorial Campanile is suggested as an alternative hook for its iconic recognition of the famous University of Kansas. IveGoneAway (talk) 05:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
The article passes a DYK check, and the hooks are supported by references. The image is good, no other images clearly show the limestone. I would support the original hook. IJReid ^discuss 18:33, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the reminder, I have checked and the article is good, most paraphrased regions differ quite significantly. IJReid ^discuss 00:56, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
