Overall:  I love this article. Great work! It meets all DYK criteria as described above. I would approve ALT0, but I think the hook can be refined slightly to make it more intriguing. @SchroCat:, what do you think about ALT0a: ... that although Edward Lloyd was the namesake of Lloyd's of London, he was not its founder?

Hi Dclemens1971, thanks for looking over this. Yes, your alternative also works. I’m never sure about what hooks work best, so happy with either of them - your call as to which you think would work best. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 16:04, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
 Approving both (I think ALT0a is sufficiently similar to ALT0 not to need a second reviewer) and will leave it up to the promoter. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:09, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

### Comments
Disclaimer: the nominator and I have collaborated on numerous articles at FAC level and elsewhere, but I am confident I can review this article disinterestedly.

Quibbles

"Lloyd moved the coffee house to a larger premises" – do we want the indefinite article?
"In Britain, Lloyd church warden" – missing "was a" or some such? And see below.
"auctions also took place was the pulpit" – not English.
"With a year of moving to the new premises" – within a year?"
"Lloyd was a church warden" – "churchwarden" is one word according to the OED.
"his wife Abigail died – as he had only one wife at a time Abigail probably needs a comma on either side of her name, I think, but I don't press the point.
"although has only been available online since 2013" – missing a word.
That's my lot. Over to you. Tim riley talk 20:33, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Many thanks Tim. All duly attended to in this edit. - SchroCat (talk) 20:59, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this article isn't an FAC, but I'm entirely OK with it as a GA. Tim riley talk 21:10, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Don’t worry: it will be there soon enough. As it was a new article, I quite enjoy getting the full house of New, DYK, GA and FA. It’ll be at FAC as soon as I have space for another nom. Thanks for your time on this one. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 21:26, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
