... that the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds, was deliberately built to be wider than the British Museum Reading Room, on which it was modelled?

date, length, hook fine. Please, for formality, reference some more paragraphs, refs may be doubled, it helps the reader. The lead - as a summary - doesn't need refs. I suggest to word Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds, to avoid "Leeds's". The main source is a list, the article prose, no plagiarism. Official sources, no copyvio. Happy reading, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:39, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Will move the refs out of the lead and add some more later today. I've moved the U of L as suggested, but I'm doubtful about "of the", so left it out. "At the" sounds better to me, but it looks OK (IMO) without either. --GuillaumeTell 16:26, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Someone else reading this will not know what "Leeds's" referred to, in general rather propose an ALT (and strike the former if not an option). But it's minor wording in this case, just next time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:45, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
