  • Reviewed: Railroads in New England, Jane Ingham
  • Comment: Per WP:DYKSG#C3, only the first bolded link in each hook ("Engineering Societies Building") should be counted. But if none of these work, I can propose separate hooks for each one. (Sadly, there is no picture of both buildings at once, so I put the image of the Engineers' Club Building as an optional image.)

  • Hi Epicgenius, these articles are close to my heart as a member of a British equivalent institution, review follows: club building is a new article created on 11 October, societies building was more than 5x expanded on the same date; both articles are well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I only sampled a very small number of the hundreds of sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing; image is taken by nominator and appropriately licensed; hooks are interesting, ALT0 and ALT1 check out to the article and source, for ALT2 do we know that Whitfield himself designed the building or just his firm? Awaiting a second QPQ - Dumelow (talk) 07:10, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Dumelow: Thank you for your review. These engineering societies are very interesting to me personally and I'm glad you enjoyed them too. I've done a second QPQ and proposed ALT2A, a secondary hook where it's clarified that Whitfield was one of the architects on the project. Though, if ALT0 and ALT1 have no problems, I suppose we can go with those. Epicgenius (talk) 12:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
