South Beach–Franklin Delano Roosevelt Boardwalk

  • ... that at 2.5 miles (4.0 km), New York City's South Beach Boardwalk was cited as the fourth longest boardwalk in the world in 2010? Source: Jackson, Kenneth T., ed. (2010). The Encyclopedia of New York City (2nd ed.). New Haven: Yale University Press. ISBN 978-0-300-11465-2.

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 01:11, 22 September 2019 (UTC).

  • 5x expanded within the last week, definitely long enough, and within policy. I like Alt0 the best, it is short enough and the content of the hook is interesting to a broad audience. However Epicgenius, the sourcing is confusing. I will AGF that the source supports the hook, as it is an offline source, but the text says According to the fifth edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City, is the fourth-longest boardwalk in the world., however the source in the article is the 2nd Edition. The 2nd edition was also published in 2010, which is quite some time ago. You may need to either find a more recent source or add a {{As of}} qualifier to the article and hook. Alt1 isn't very interesting and Alt2 is missing a word after "area," (like "but was"). Let me know when the QPQ is done. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:21, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
  • @Gonzo fan2007: Thanks for the review. I have done a QPQ. In regards to the hooks:
  • ALT0 - I accidentally confused this with the AIA Guide to New York City, whose fifth edition is the most recent. Check out the new wording that specifies the date.
  • ALT1 - I know, it isn't interesting without context. Coney Island is seen as an icon and easily accessible by transport. South Beach is somewhere that takes two hours to get to Lower Manhattan by any mode of transport.
  • ALT2 - reworded accordingly. epicgenius (talk) 00:21, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
looks good now. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:36, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
