==Is it Lennox, Lenox, or Lenora?==

Looks like the answer is Lenora. It was originally Lenox, was changed to Lenora, then to Lennox and the page is locked. It needs to go back to Lenora.

:Greetings, this is rated as a B-class article. The "Awards and honors" subsection has an unsourced quote, supposedly by Lawrence J. Wilker. The policy ] states, {{tq|All material in Misplaced Pages mainspace, including everything in articles, lists, and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material.}}
:The quote has a 2015 "Citation needed" tag but has remained unresolved even with six WikiProjects (leaving notifications), 2,133 editors, 422 watchers, and 179,111 pageviews in 30 days. If the quote cannot be sourced it needs to be removed. -- ] (]) 10:45, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
