Comment

I will also be nominating anon the Exeter War Memorial and the Bridgwater War Memorial, both of which he designed. Both are new articles. I would like to treat this as a treble hook. Any suggestions as to wording for an appropriate hook would be appreciated. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 10:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that John Angel parlayed his skills as a wood carver into world renown World War I war memorials of Exeter War Memorial (pictured) and Bridgwater War Memorial?

for a treble hook. --Doug Coldwell ^talk 18:01, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

I concur with ALT1, which is 148 characters. Given that this involves three DYKs, hook length should not be a problem. We need to include a picture in the hook, however. I will do a third QPQ review, and you may consider this to be my IOU, which I will redeem in the next couple of days. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:10, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

FYI, the other two articles were new articles. Those are Exeter War Memorial and Bridgwater War Memorial and were started after the John Angel article. If I need to submit separate nominations, please let me know. Otherwise, it just seems like needless clutter. They each cover quite different territory, IMO. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:18, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

This one nomination can cover all three articles. We'll just need to add credit templates for the other two articles.
It looks to me like some of the images of the Exeter War Memorial would work well in DYK. --Orlady (talk) 19:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that although John Angel spent much of his career in America, he designed the Exeter (pictured) and Bridgwater War Memorials in the 1920s? Both have been updated.

Another variation. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Dates and lengths confirmed. AGF due to several sources being either offline or behind a paywall. Most sources for the three articles are available online and checks of article facts found no problems with close paraphrasing. Recommend either ALT1 or ALT2.
