New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As most sources are offline, unable to check for close paraphrasing. The birth and death dates both need to be cited, or else removed. The hooks are interesting but a bit inaccurate; I suggest you word it as in the article and remove the repetition of "museum":- ALT2: ... that when Abbey House Museum curator Violet Crowther wanted to add household objects to the collection, she asked for donations through local newspapers?
- QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 22:28, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for adding the birth and death cite. We need an independent reviewer to check ALT2. Pinging Kingsif for help here. Yoninah (talk) 01:08, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Article looks good, alt2 sourced offline in article, and is moderately interesting. Perhaps it should mention that she wanted to add "bygone" (or a synonym) household objects specifically? Kingsif (talk) 10:40, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for these suggestions. 'old-fashioned' is better in a UK context. How about
I've formatted that last suggestions, either 2a or 3 should work. Kingsif (talk) 15:49, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
