• The start of the article says it was built in 1945 but the description says 1920. Which is right? SmartSE (talk) 16:00, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

• 1945 is correct - article amended. Mjroots (talk) 09:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

• Paraphrasing is fine. Hook is good, article is fine. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
