AGF on hook source (though the picture shows it to be true). Article is well sourced and written, was created 10 August. Image is freely licensed and depicts the hook well - Dumelow (talk) 16:25, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Let me suggest something which I hope might catch reader interest via its unusual terminology:

ALT1 ... that the sans-gnomen sundial of St Peter's Church, Formby, Merseyside, (pictured) has a Tuscan column, square abacus, and cyma moulding?

Comment That's just architectural jargon, and IMO is as likely to put off as to intrigue. If it were to be used, at least four of the terms would have to be linked, otherwise it will be unintelligible. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:42, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

I guess it depends whether you think people are more likely to say "Gee, I wonder what all that stuff means?" or "I feel like learning about a jarring contrast today". I leave it to you. EEng (talk) 13:48, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

You can produce a string of jargon terms for any article on architecture, and I see no point in that. What is interesting in this particular church (at least to me) are the considerable differences between the two phases of building, and what the architectural historians say about it.
