  • Comment: I have rather forced into the lead an online reference to the claims in the hook - the best references are offline. If this is not visible then a previewed Google book can be seen (at least by me) at the cited Baker, Patrick (2014). "The Lost Shelter". The Cairngorms: A Secret History. Birlinn. ISBN 9780857908094.

  • New enough (nominated within 2 days of creation, long enough, well-sourced, neutral, offline sources accepted in good faith, hook is interesting and cited, image is included which is appropriate, QPQ information included. In both versions provided, the link to the article is piped, so I have suggested an alternate without a piped link. Otherwise all seems fine. Drchriswilliams (talk) 13:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your review. ALT2 is fine, of course, if that matches our standards better. Thincat (talk) 15:42, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
