Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall, Sydney Robert Elliston[edit]

St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall
St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall
  • ALT1:... that Sydney Robert Elliston was vicar of the Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall?
  • Comment: I am away from my computer this weekend, but shall complete two QPQ reviews on my return. If i don't get time to put the hooks and their sources in the article headers on the day of nomination, I'll do that on my return also. Thank you for your patience.

Created by Storye book (talk). Self-nominated at 18:55, 29 September 2016 (UTC).

  • 2 QPQs have been performed and not just drive by. Both articles are large and new enough. The last paragraph of Church of St Thomas the Apostle, Killinghall#1905–1908 re-ordering has no citation, but everything else in both articles is cited. The copyvio checker finds no problem. Hooks ALT0 and ALT1 are both covered in the articles, but they are fairly boring. Can you suggest a more exciting hook? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:32, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you, Graeme, for the review. The citation for that para is now in place.Storye book (talk) 11:52, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
  • ALT2:... that while Sydney Robert Elliston was vicar of St Thomas, Killinghall, his fellow clergy appreciated an "improvement in their incomes"? Source = Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer West Yorkshire, England 25 October 1943, back page: "Death of Canon S.R. Elliston, good work for church finance"
  • Confirming citations were added. At 135 characters hook ALT2 is OK in length, and is more interesting. Hook is in the second article, referenced, but AGF on newspaper content. Final check reveals that these topics are probably not hoaxes. Now good to go with ALT2. Graeme Bartlett (talk)
