ALT1: ... that the Trinity Episcopal Church in Houghton, Michigan, was completed on Easter?
  • Length and date good, and the ref for ALT1 checks out, though the sources don't support the original hook (the church's barge slipped its moorings, but that's different from falling in the water). Alt1 is fine though. I spot-checked a few of the sources, saw no obvious copyright issues. Nice article. --Elonka 23:12, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
In ref 3, it says that "it was floating down the canal." I'm not actually sure if that means it was the water or not. Chris857 (talk) 23:26, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Well, how about "ALT2: ... that the Trinity Episcopal Church had to be rescued from floating down a canal?" That might better reflect the source. Or did you want to suggest another hook? --Elonka 23:53, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I think "... that the Trinity Episcopal Church had to be rescued from floating down a canal?" sounds good. Chris857 (talk) 01:32, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Should it include the city name? Or do you like the shorter hook? --Elonka 01:42, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
In this case, since it was moving between cities and started in Hancock, I may be best to leave off. Chris857 (talk) 02:29, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
