• ... that the William Armson-designed Guthrey Centre fell victim to the Christchurch earthquake, but his Excelsior Hotel will be rebuilt?

• Comment: We will continue to work on the two building articles, but all three meet DYK criteria by now and one is by now six days old, so the nomination needs to go in.

• (Sorry, I can't find the review template anywhere, directions?) The hook citations for all three articles check out (mostly historical society webpages). The Armson article contains a rootsweb source that I don't think is a reliable source, but it is only used for one non-hook sentence in the article. I ran the duplicate checker for all three articles for the most used sources and could find no blatant copyvio besides borderline close paraphrasing, such as common terms like "former glory" or "received an award." There are no POV issues/edit wars that I can see and all three check out with the DYK tool. The image has a CC-license from a Flickr user and is acceptable for the mainpage. The hook is a little bland, but is acceptable. Froggerlaura (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
