@TheSandDoctor: you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. An optional Reviewer's Template is located above the edit window. Yoninah (talk) 23:52, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, TheSandDoctor. I'm just wondering if the language in the hook is so obscure as to be passed over by readers. Perhaps more explanatory words could be used instead of caternary? Yoninah (talk) 13:19, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Unfortunately, alysoid, chainette or funicular would not be more explanatory... How about... "world's longest spanning timber arch-shaped roof?" It is indeed arch-shaped, that is no false statement, and what allows it to be arch-shaped is the catenary design. Thoughts? ~riley(talk) 19:05, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Good idea reversing the order, appreciate the fresh eyes on this one. @TheSandDoctor: Thoughts on ALT1? ~riley(talk) 20:08, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you. Here's another idea from information I just added from the source:
ALT2: ... that the roof of the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre features an "undulating" pattern created from 88-foot (27 m) lengths of steel cables interspersed with Douglas fir? Yoninah (talk) 20:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
ALT2 sounds too technical, worry it would be passed over for that reason. Good addition to the article, thank you. Opting at this time for ALT1 due to shortness and simplicity (relative). ~riley(talk) 22:01, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
