Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: This is a neat and interesting little article which is long enough and new enough to qualify for DYK. I like the hook which entices the question "how can a roundabout chair have corners?" However, I some a slight concerns about it because a) it doesn't appear in the article text and b) the term roundabout chair also covers chairs that have round seats with no corners. The former is easily rectified and perhaps a tweak to the hook would resolve the latter e.g. "that the seats of some roundabout chairs..." On a DYK technical note, the actual title of the article is "Corner chair" and I don't know if this has to appear somewhere in the hook rather than being hidden. But overall, the article is a runner if these concerns can be addressed. Obviously a QPQ is needed. Keep me posted. Bermicourt (talk) 13:22, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Thank you! I have modified the hook per your proposal. The fact that in American English roundabout chairs are synonymous to corner ones is in the article and is sourced. I thought that the QPQ requirement only applies after 5 nominations (this one is my first) but will gladly pull the load as suggested, please allow me few days to learn the ropes. There is not much I can do with the title of the article: a corner chair is a way better term (as pointed out in the hook...). -- Votpuske (talk) 01:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Okay, the hook now works and you're right, there's no need for a QPQ if you haven't completed 5 nominations, so this is nearly good to go. What I can't see is the hook within the article - you have to deduce it. It needs to be in there somewhere and cited as well. You could probably add a sentence to paragraph 2 of the History section to cover it. Bermicourt (talk) 07:46, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
@Votpuske: to ensure they saw the above comment. Z1720 (talk) 20:59, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
@Bermicourt: The fact that the roundabout chairs with time got corners is already in the article (By the time of brothers Adam the seats became more or less square) and is sourced (Drepperd in 1948 stated that the roundabout chair had become a more or less squareseated chair). I do not know how to edit the submission to reflect this. Votpuske (talk) 18:36, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks. That's fine and I'll take the source AGF in which case this is GTG. Bermicourt (talk) 08:16, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
@Votpuske: I added a citation needed tag to the article to a phrase that needs a reference. Can you add a source to verify this information to the article? Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 19:38, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
@Z1720: Although the difference is clear from the definition of the corner chair and an illustration in the Drepperd's book ([1]), and the text below states "Not a corner chair, but a two-tier-back saddle seat Hogarth chair", I am unable to provide text that supports this claim. If this is an issue, the unsourced phrase can be simply deleted. Votpuske (talk) 15:24, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
@Votpuske: If the information cannot be verified by a source, it should probably be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 15:39, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
