• ... that Cranmer Court (pictured), New Zealand's first normal school and a Category I heritage building, is currently being demolished?

• Reviewed: Mole hole of Template:Did you know nominations/Loring Air Force Base, alert crew, mole hole, christmas tree (aviation), Loring Air Force Base Alert Area, elephant walk (aviation), Minimum Interval Takeoff
• Comment: Given the significance of the building and its sad fate, I would appreciate if this could be used as a lead hook.

• Bummer; this needs a new hook. The source has got in wrong, as it wasn't the first Normal School in NZ. The one in Dunedin opened a few months earlier. "The Normal School". Otago Daily Times. No. 4348. 26 January 1876. p. 2. Retrieved 16 October 2012. I'll ask Rosie to look after this, as I'm off on holiday now. Schwede66 20:03, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that Cranmer Court (pictured), Samuel Farr's most famous design and a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category I heritage building, is currently being demolished? Schwede66 21:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

• Definitely OR, but not all units were red-stickered. Some were (in fact still are) yellow stickered "RESTRICTED USE", 8/3/11 from what I can read. It'll be gone in a couple of days. Internal structural damage fairly minor, looks touch and go for economic repair cf an ordinary building, facade simple enough to tie in, heritage status has been erased by CERA hence irrelevant. --219.88.199.192 (talk) 12:20, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for that. I have mentioned the nine modern town houses in the article. Schwede66 17:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

• Presumably the townhouses are green-stickered. I wouldn't go in without a camera... 122.57.98.210 (talk) 10:43, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

• Needs to be reviewed. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:16, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

• ALT2 ... that Cranmer Court (pictured), Samuel Farr's most famous design and a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category I heritage building, has recently been demolished?

• Demolition is now complete, so I've updated the hook accordingly. Schwede66 18:48, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
• This article is now ready for DYK with the ALT2 hook. It is new enough and long enough and the different parts of the hook are referenced Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:01, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
