Created two days before nom, size at 4808 B. Not really much issues worth noting. ミラP@Miraclepine 14:40, 5 September 2025 (UTC)The idea that the walls of this structure were five foot thick wood…
edit…is not merely wrong, but laughable…and directly contradicted by multiple sources one of which is in this article itself, in external links.
Bad as Do You Know Kare often is, this is one of the lows for due diligence. Qwirkle (talk) 15:32, 28 September 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, you’re right. The source says foundation, not walls. I must have misread it. Thanks, @Qwirkle! Eddie891 Talk Work 10:21, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- I do remember thinking that would have been a very thick house when writing the article, LOL. Eddie891 Talk Work 10:23, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- Well, I dunno if that is the only accuracy problem there, and the actual wall thickness, 10-12 inches of solid hardwood, is a bit more “notable,” to use the wikiblather, than a lot of what’s still in the article. Qwirkle (talk) 15:59, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Qwirkle- If you have specific concerns, please do list them here and I'll attempt to address them, but otherwise I am not sure what you're referencing, so not sure how I could address them. Also, which source are you seeing 10-12 inches in, so I could add it- I didn't see it on a quick re-look? Also of course you could add it yourself if you feel so inclined.

- Did you bother to read your own external links? Qwirkle (talk) 16:30, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- Have I skimmed them when writing the article? Yes. Did I re-read them just now? No. Eddie891 Talk Work 16:32, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
