that the Bodie Creek Suspension Bridge on the Falkland Islands is one of the most southerly in the world?"one of the most southerly suspension bridges in the world" from: Wagstaff, Will (2018). Falkland Islands. Bradt Travel Guides. p. 114. ISBN 978-1-78477-618-3.- ALT1:... that the Bodie Creek Suspension Bridge was built to carry sheep? "it was realised that the bridge was a necessity if sheep were to be brought there from the Walker Creek camps" from: "Bodie Creek Bridge". Falkland Islands Museum & National Trust. Retrieved 5 June 2020.
- ALT2:... that the Bodie Creek Suspension Bridge was shipped to the Falkland Islands from London in kit form?"The bridge was manufactured in London by David Rowell & Co. at a cost of £2,281 and shipped to the Falklands on the ss Ballena." from: "Bodie Creek Bridge".

5x expanded by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 05:14, 5 June 2020 (UTC).
- - New enough (5x expansion within last day)
- - Long enough (400 chars to well over 2,000)
- - neutral, cites sources
- - I have a concern that "one of the most southerly suspension bridges in the world", which appears twice in the article, is word-for-word identical to the source. Please reword it.
- - Hooks are all short enough
- - ALT2 is interesting, ALT1 is probably interesting. ALT0 I've struck, both because it's not interesting and because it's too similar to the quote above.
- - QPQ is present. AGF that the reviewer will follow up once the concern is addressed.
- - I've nominated the file for deletion. It's quite possibly going to be kept, but I want additional eyes on it. The explanation can be found at the deletion nomination page.
- - Image otherwise meets the criteria (in use in the article, shows well at 160px)
- -
because of the wording issue above. AGF that there aren't other, similar issues in the other offline sources, but please double check and make sure there aren't. - The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 07:54, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Dumelow and The Squirrel Conspiracy: I should also point out that the link for the creek itself is incorrectly spelled Brodie Creek, which is in Arkansas. It should link to Bodie Creek. 🇪🇵🇮🇨🇬🇪🇳🇮🇺🇸 (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Epicgenius, I've fixed this in the article. I think "one of the most southerly suspension bridges in the world" is a sufficiently common turn of phrase to be uncopyrightable but I've now switched it out for the less elegant "southernmost" - Dumelow (talk) 18:06, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
GTG now. AGF b/c of offline sources. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:38, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
