Matters that are good to go: long enough and new enough relative to the date of this nomination. Checks for copyvio reveals no problems (e.g. [1]), QPQ review performed, interesting hook, all non-lead paragraphs have at least one inline citation.
- The only matter that needs to be addressed is that the content of the hook
does not appear to be(is not backed by) a reliable source in the article at this time. North America1000 10:54, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

- All right. I modified my comment above. Content of the hook is not presently verified in the article. Hopefully this minor matter can be addressed so this can move forward.

- ALT1 ...
that Garrison Point Fort in Sheerness, Kent, is an example of an unusual two-tiered casemated sea battery of the 1860s?
- Thanks but no. The cited source says specifically that the fort is a rare two-tiered casemated sea battery of the 1860s. That is exactly what the hook says. Point #3 of WP:WIADYK says "The fact(s) mentioned in the hook must be cited in the article", which is fully satisfied here. I've just changed the word "unusual" to "rare" in the lead, matching the source exactly (though I note that "unusual" is a synonym for "rare" [2] so this change isn't strictly necessary). I'm afraid your proposed hook is misleading in that it is the type of the fort, not the specific building itself, that is unusual. Prioryman (talk) 21:48, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

- WP:WIADYK. There is presently no source there, although there is one at the end of the following sentence. Is this the source being used to verify content of the hook? North America100023:17, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Now good to go, per all of the above. North America1000 16:21, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
