Homer House
  • Source: https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2016/06/winslow-homers-early-days "The 1853 Homer House, an Italianate mansion that dominates a hill just above Belmont town center, is open for tours. ... Guided tours highlight the largely untouched original interior architecture, along with the life and early work of the couple’s nephew, Winslow Homer. ... He and his family lived nearby, but in a modest farmhouse (still standing and privately owned)..."

  • Alt1 ...that the cupola of Homer House (pictured) is part of a 19th-century cooling system?

On the article talk page, User:TSventon points out that the article doesn't explicitly back the hook, by which I believe they mean that it doesn't explicitly say "Winslow Homer made Homer House historic". That is true, the sources mostly talk about the house by talking about it in the context of the life of the artist, which I think is the same thing, but if the reviewer disagrees, we can say:

  • Just a comment on ALT2: he also never lived in my house either. Perhaps the hook could use some clarification of why it should be automatically connected to Winslow, despite his never having lived in it. Dahn (talk) 18:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Your house isn't named "Homer House". But OK:

 Reviewing... Flibirigit (talk) 21:12, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was moved to mainspace on July 29, and nominated on July 30. Length and sourcing are adequate. No plagiarism issues detected, and the article is neutral in tone. All images used in the article have a public domain license on the Commons. The nominated image is used in the article, clear at a low resolution, and enhances the hook. QPQ requirement is complete. I have struck ALT0 since it is not explicity mentioned in the article, and I cannot locate any source which says that Winslow Homer made the house famous. I have struck ALT2 and ALT3 for being not interesting to a broad audience. Something an artist did not do, is not going to generate interest in clicking on article about this house. ALT1 approved as the best hook proposed. It is interesting to a broad audience, it is about the house itself, properly mentioned and cited in the article, and verified by the source. I remain open to revisiting the nomination if other hooks are proposed. Best wishes! Flibirigit (talk) 00:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
