Royal Castle Hotel edit
- ... that Agatha Christie in her novel "Ordeal by Innocence" used the location of Royal Castle Hotel (pictured) as inspiration for characterizing the Royal George in the novel?

Hook is fine as is the image. Main article criteria checks out. In the lead Ref #2 (Hauntedbritain.com) doesn't seem to mention anything about it being "two pairs of buildings connected by a corridor" - that could do with fixing before it appears on the Main Page. violet/riga [talk] 23:10, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- I removed the sentence about the corridor from the lead. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:45, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Great - it's ready now. violet/riga [talk] 19:37, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
The prose in the lead is too confusing, and the usage of King and Queen of the Netherlands throughout for William and Mary is incorrect. Given the timing, I'm not entirely sure that the pair had yet been crowned King and Queen of England, if this is when James II was deposed, but William would have been Prince of Orange, not King in the Netherlands. (I'm not sure whether he ever was given the title of King there.) When the article is further expanded, Agatha Christie should be included in the body of the article, not just in the lede.

- This article seems to me to be ready to go. It is new enough, long enough, the hook fact is mentioned in the body of the article and sourced, and the image is appropriately licensed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
