Flass

[edit]

  • ... that after being owned in the 19th century by opium traders, Flass (pictured, 2011), an English country house in Cumbria, was used for the cultivation of cannabis in the 21st century?

Created by J Milburn (talk) and Peter I. Vardy (talk). Self nominated at 16:50, 11 July 2014 (UTC).

  • Article is new enough (July 11), long enough, neutrally written and uses in-line citations. Hook short enough (166 characters without parenthetical), interesting, and supported with in-line citation to reliable source here. Spot-checking (e.g., here) doesn't reveal problems with unduly close paraphrasing, copyright violation or plagiarism. Quotations with attribution used appropriately. Image uploaded by nominator and bears appropriate CC license. A QPQ review is needed before this can be passed. Cbl62 (talk) 20:35, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that Flass (pictured, 2011), an English country house in Cumbria, was built by opium traders in the nineteenth century and used for cannabis cultivation in the twenty-first?

The QPQ has been completed. Both hooks are approved, but I do think the alt 1 hook proposed by EEng is preferable. Cbl62 (talk) 02:23, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
