New enough, long enough, no other policy issues except missing citation for last sentence of History section. The image is used in article, freely licensed, but looks blurry at small size, I doubt it will be used.

The hook says he wrote TNT in the house, but the article does not say that. The article only says he built the house sometime after moving to Tahiti in 1924. It doesn't say when he built the house or wrote TNT. The NYT does say he moved in to the house in 1926. If you add that to the article, and say when he wrote TNT (1932-1934), then the hook will be stating things from the article.

Alternatively, another hook could be about how even though the house was declared a National Monument, it still continued to deteriorate due to lack of funds.

Thanks very much MB - and thanks for spotting and clarifying my mistake! I've changed the sentence to reflect what you rightly point out. Lajmmoore (talk) 00:12, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Lajmmoore, one more thing, you still need to add the missing citation in the History section. MB 00:21, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

MB Thanks for pointing that out - fixed and clarified now. Lajmmoore (talk) 08:15, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Issues resolved. QPQ done. Good to go.
