Holy Trinity Church, Brathay

(

• ... that in describing the hilltop site of Holy Trinity Church, Brathay in Cumbria, the poet William Wordsworth said, "there is no situation out of the Alps, nor among them, more beautiful than that where this building is placed"?

• Article is within date, and is long enough. Looks well cited. The hook is sourced to the Church's own website, which made me raise an eyebrow. The actual phrasing is slightly different ('there is no situation out of the Alps, nor among them, more beautiful than where this building is placed') and is to be found in a 1836 letter from Wordsworth to John Kenyon (see [1]). If the quote can be corrected and this source used alongside the church website, it would alleviate my minor concerns about its reliability. The picture is fine for use.

• Thanks for spotting that. I've corrected the quote here and in the article. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:10, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

That looks fine, and this should be good to go. A minor aside, it is quite a long hook, but I will leave it to the promoting user to decide whether it fits in a queue or would need trimming slightly. Benea (talk) 01:56, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

• At 226 characters, the hook is simply too long to be approved. Please come up with alternate hooks under 200 characters for this. One possibility, which retains Wordsworth and the full quote:

• Thanks; that's fine by me.--Peter I. Vardy (talk) 20:49, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

• Hook is now under 200 characters at 191; the rest previously checked out, so the nomination is approved. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:29, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
