42 Lomasney Way

[edit]
  • ... that 42 Lomasney Way has been called "The Last Tenement" and has been compared to the house from the movie Up?

  • New article, long enough, neutrally written, has sufficient inline citations and no copyright violations or close paraphrasing detected. QPQ done. One issue with the citations: the sentence that states it was built in the 1870s cites two sources. Of the two, I didn't find any mention of construction date in the Emporis page, and the NESN video claims it was built in 1920. The Boston Globe article does contain the information though, so I'd suggest citing that instead. (Also in that same sentence, I assume "rest of TD Garden" should say "west"?) Minor nitpick on the property value, $680,000 would round up to $0.7 million, not down to $0.6 million. Hook-wise, I think the Up connection is tenuous, just based on an off-hand interview comment. The main idea that it's the last tenement standing in the West End is interesting enough. I'd also suggest rephrasing the hook to specifically call out Boston and the name of the neighborhood, in lieu of mentioning Up. Oh, and see article talk page for a suggested image, already being used in West End, Boston.--diff (talk) 00:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
  • How does this work? ALT1:"... that 42 Lomasney Way in Boston's West End has been called "The Last Tenement", and has survived two fires, decay, and urban renewal?" We could also add the image, if you thought it might help. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 06:04, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
  • I'm happy with that new hook, which I've marked as ALT1. Added an inline citation to the article to support the nickname since it's in the hook. The rest of it is inline cited already in the article. All review criteria met, good to go. --diff (talk) 04:33, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
