... New enough, reads well, long enough, hook interesting and in article followed by citation to reference contains hook fact. No copyvio issues, QPQ provided. An image would be good @Girth Summit:... let me know if you add the memorial image and I'll tick it (clear and free). Whispyhistory (talk) 15:20, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, Whispyhistory. Thanks too for suggesting the addition of the image - done. Girth Summit (blether) 15:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you Girth Summit... Tick to image, which is free and clear. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

- FWIW I have looked at this entry several times now when creating a prep set and haven't promoted this because I think the hook lacks clarity. --evrik (talk) 17:06, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi evrik - can you expand on what's unclear to you? Girth Summit (blether) 17:34, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Why does it matter that, "...that is designated a Category A listed building in its own right?"--evrik (talk) 17:41, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Category A buildings are usually fairly substantial and locally significant. It's pretty unusual to have a category A grave; even more so perhaps to have a Cat A church with a separate Cat A grave in its churchyard. (I thought about mentioning the church's designation in the hook, but thought that might overcomplicate things) Girth Summit (blether) 17:46, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

- ALT1: ...that within the graveyard of the Category A listed Crossmichael Parish Church, there is a memorial to William Gordon of Greenlaw that is itself designated Category A in its own right?
