Rotherwas Room

[edit]
  • ALT1:... that the saying "not everyone can live at Rotherwas" was coined by King James the First upon his visit to Rotherwas Court, home of the Rotherwas Room?

  • New, long enough, good citations, no evident copyvios and article is neutral.
  • hook is long enough - but, although it is obvious, there is no cited evidence that Amherst College students have been inside the room. More importantly, there is no explicit cited evidence that James I has been in the room (although he visited the house). So ALT 1 would be better, although really it refers to the house rather than to the room. - or perhaps you can redraft the main hook?
  • no QPQ, presumably not required...
  • So just for the moment......--Smerus (talk) 10:37, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi @Smerus, We propose another alternative for our main hook:

We would also like to include an image and a caption. How should we do this?

I've taken the liberty of reformatting your proposal for ALT2. This new hook is OK, if a bit long (you could cut out 'which was', for example), but I'm willing to give it Good to Go. The image and caption are normally loaded when you make the DYK proposal - I'm afraid I don't know the rules for adding an image after a proposal has been reviewed.--Smerus (talk) 21:23, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Sespinosa17. I went ahead and took out 'which was' like Smerus suggested. Clowdon (talk) 22:20, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
