- ... that in every apartment in Arlington House, Margate, you can see the sea? Source: "Thanks to the zig-zag plan, every flat has views of both sea and countryside." [1]
5x expanded by Ritchie333 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Arlington House, Margate; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New sixfold expansion, seems verified and with no plagiarism, nicely written (except for the lead, which should ideally be expanded to summarize the content in the body of text), QPQ done, hook interesting and verified by source, but not cited in the article (it is mentioned in the lead, with no citation, when it should be cited -- either there or, preferably, upon a second mention in the body of text).

- Dahn The body cites it viz. "The sides of the building have a wave-like design, providing both inland and sea views. I have clarified this with "from all apartments" and also cited Harwood 2022 p.38 which states "The cranked facades facing east and west give all 142 flats - eight on each floor - a view of the sea from continuous bands of glazing". (There's a minor issue with the source in that 142 doesn't divide into 8 equally, but another source also reports 142). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:16, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Perfect. Ritchie333: Still hoping you'll also add to the lead, but this is not a requirement for DYK. Dahn (talk) 13:30, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
- I want to see if I can cite a bit more history from the 70s-90s first, otherwise basing the lead on what's currently in the article might inadvertently make it lop-sided, if you see what I mean. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:31, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
