Europa Point Lighthouse

(

... that the Europa Point Lighthouse (pictured) at Gibraltar is the only lighthouse operated by Trinity House on continental Europe outside the United Kingdom?

Size is good (5183 characters); genuinely created on 20 July; properly referenced. The image is properly licensed. There is a minor problem with the hook. The reference given does indeed say what is written in the hook, but a check on the Trinity House list of lighthouses it operates shows that Trinity House operate four lighthouses on the Channel Islands. The Channel Islands are not part of the United Kingdom; they are Crown Dependencies. Perhaps the hook should be "... the only lighthouse operated by Trinity House on continental Europe outside the United Kingdom? Sam Blacketer (talk) 21:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Great pick up. I've altered the hook and will modify the article as well. Anne (talk) 22:24, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
