Hook

• Length, format, content rules: Original hook checks out. Cbl62 (talk) 06:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• Source: Original hook sourced appropriately. Cbl62 (talk) 06:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• Interest: I find the original hook to be interesting. Cbl62 (talk) 06:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
• Image suitability: I think this is unsuitable at 100px. Tony (talk) 01:42, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Photo does have appropriate public domain documentation, though I don't disagree with Tony about the image quality at 100x100px. Cbl62 (talk) 06:58, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

• ALT hooks, if proposed: Original not hooky, IMO. ALT2 ... that Belle Mina, completed in 1826, is one of the earliest examples in Alabama of a columned plantation house? Tony (talk) 01:43, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

The linking to column seems unnecessary in the alt hooks. For this particular hook (and actually the original hook as well), a more useful wikilink would be to plantation house, as that article gives a lot of good information on the specific topic, whereas the "column" link is generic.

Comments/discussion:

Alt image please! Or letting me know that I can move this without one. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:20, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

It's certainly fine by me if there is no image used, the 2 possible alternates aren't any better than the one above. Altairisfar (talk) 21:00, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
