Inglis Bridge in Monmouth, Wales

... that the Inglis Bridge in Monmouth, Wales (pictured) is the only known example in Britain of an Inglis bridge which is still in public use? Source: Charles Inglis

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Execution of George Flaxman

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: - still needs to be completed
Overall: Article is new and long enough, no problems from Earwig, and hook is sourced (indicated source in hook refers to reference 4 in the article). My only suggestions would be to potentially shorten the bolded link in the hook to just "Inglis Bridge", perhaps with a separate link for Monmouth, and to target the link for Inglis bridge to the secton of Inglis's biography that specifically mentions the bridge (from what I can see, it'd be Charles Inglis (engineer)#Military service), but it's not a big deal if you'd prefer to keep the hook the way it is. Should be good to go pending QPQ completion. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:13, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PCN02WPS - Hi, and thanks for reviewing. Hopefully, I have incorporated your suggested changes, both of which I’m fine with. Apologies if I’ve not, I am not very competent with the DYK templates. Also, I’ve no idea what QPQ completion is. Is it something I need to do? Thanks again, KJP1 (talk) 06:25, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, a quid pro quo review! Very happy to do this, although doubtful I’m competent to do so! But I see there is an exemption if one has fewer than 5 DYKs. I think that covers me. As far as I can recall, only one of the articles I’ve started has done DYK, and I didn’t actually nominate that myself, Great Pagoda, Kew Gardens. KJP1 (talk) 06:33, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KJP1, from what I can tell, this is the first DYK nomination you've started, but editors can receive DYK credit for nominations that they helped with, not just those that they started. This DYK tool lists 15 credits to your name (with the first eleven coming in 2012, and one each in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2021). This means that you'd have to complete the QPQ anyways, despite this being your first nomination. I'm happy to answer any questions about the reviewing process or help you through a review if that's something you'd be interested in. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:45, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I've taken another look at the hook and I think your initial version with respect to the bolded link makes more sense, so I've changed that back. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 06:48, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely fine. Let me pick one from the pending list, and I’ll get back with any, inevitable, queries. Thanks again for the help and guidance. KJP1 (talk) 08:32, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ completed, this one is good to go! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:02, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks indeed - for this and for your help on my QPQ. If I can make a suggestion, I think this DYK, if it makes the cut, would be much enhanced by having the image of the bridge attached. The image gives a real sense of the rarity of the type of bridge. But, as suits. KJP1 (talk) 20:18, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem! I've added the image above - note that there is no guarantee (and I'd say it's rather unlikely, just based on the odds) that the image will appear alongside the blurb, but it doesn't hurt to try. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 01:29, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely understood, and thanks. It looks very nice. KJP1 (talk) 05:57, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
