  • Thanks for the tweak, Edwardx, but to my ear "all" and "each" sounds strange in the same sentence. Yoninah (talk) 22:54, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Good point, Yoninah. I've moved "all" and "each" - is that any better? Edwardx (talk) 00:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Yes, @Edwardx: I like ALT1a much better. Thanks! Yoninah (talk) 09:45, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
  • DYK review:
  • checkY New enough (created & nominated on 31 August), long enough (7787 characters), and within policy.
  • checkY Agree with the above discussion that ALT1a is the best hook. ALT1a is short enough, interesting, and supported by [1].
  • checkY QPQ done.
  • checkY Image is free, used in article, and looks good at low resolution.
  • Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 15:04, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
  • I removed this from p2 because I couldn't confirm the hook - it says children, grandchildren and in-laws were all paid $35 a week but the source only mentions two children who were paid that wage. Gatoclass (talk) 12:36, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
No I don't think that is specific enough Yoninah, and with regard to the other hook, I haven't seen a source that says they sold soul food for the full 70 years of the business' existence. So I'm thinking a new hook will be required. Gatoclass (talk) 15:04, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Yoninah, could you give me a quote from the source regarding the beach-goers? The reference cites page 83 but the source doesn't have page numbers on it. Gatoclass (talk) 08:54, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Here is the line from Chapter 10:

The morning may have started out slow, but by now Wash and Sons' was packed with couples, singles and families trying to get in a hearty meal before a day at the beach and boardwalk.

  • All good now, thanks for your patience. I have been very much enjoying your recent series on clubs and restaurants BTW :) Gatoclass (talk) 09:24, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
