Nakanoseto Bridge on the Akinada Tobishima Kaido

• ... that the island-hopping Akinada Tobishima Kaido road near Hiroshima was named after its resemblance to stepping stones in a garden?

• Source: "Akinada Tobishima Kaido: The collective term for the seven bridges connecting Kure City and the islands of the Aki Sea in Hiroshima Prefecture. ""Tobishima"" is derived from ""tobi-ishi"", meaning ""stepping stones,"" due to the islands' appearance resembling the stepping stones of a garden.

• New enough. Barely long enough prose length (but definitely long enough when the bridge list is included). Well written. Citations check out. (I used Google Translate for the Japanese sources.) But the article needs a few additional citations. First, add citations for the eighth bridge and the existing seven bridges. And add Citation #1 to the hook (about the stepping stones.) Right now, you have just Citation #6. Other than the needed citations, others look good. No obvious copyright issues; the hook is interesting, and QPQ has been done. We're very close.

• @Hybernator: Thanks for the review! I've added the citations as requested. Jpatokal (talk) 01:11, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

• Jpatokal, thanks for the updates. Could you add the specific page numbers for Citation #4 ("大崎上島町 第２次長期総合計画")? It's a 130-page doc in Japanese, and it'll be helpful to the reader to provide the specific pages. Thanks. Hybernator (talk) 16:34, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

• @Hybernator: Done. Jpatokal (talk) 06:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks. Just reviewed your updates. The article reads well. AGF on Japanese sources. Good to go. Hybernator (talk) 22:17, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

@Jpatokal and Hybernator: Where is your reference for the sentence beginning "The route is unofficially known" and for the eighth row of "Bridges"?--Launchballer 08:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

The eighth bridge is covered in the prose section with references. Since it doesn't exist yet, there are no facts/figures to list in the table.

As for the Ura-Shimanami nickname, it's strictly unofficial (and not entirely complimentary), but I've added a ref for it as well. Jpatokal (talk) 12:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Note: Image: Japan has a fairly restrictive FOP so I am unsure about the image- if we consider it to be a building it would be allowed. Also this article is barely 15XX characters. Are we sure it is WP:DYKCOMPLETE? Bruxton (talk) 14:58, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

"Architectural works" (建築作品) covers more than just buildings, per this article bridges are explicitly included. As discussed earlier, the article has sufficient prose and an extensive table detailing the bridges. Is there something specific you think is missing from the article?

@Jpatokal: Thank you for the link about bridge FOP. Also, I was just asking if the article is complete but have not researched it myself. If you feel it is complete I do not object. Bruxton (talk) 17:50, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
