Trolleybuses in Dayton

• ... that the trolley buses on the Dayton trolleybus system (pictured) are locally regarded as an icon of Dayton, Ohio?

• ALT1: that the trolley bus system of Dayton, Ohio (example vehicle pictured), in operation since 1933, is the second-oldest such system in the Western Hemisphere?
• ALT2: that the Dayton, Ohio trolley bus system (example vehicle pictured), in operation since 1933, is the second-oldest such system in the Western Hemisphere?
  The words "such system" could be replaced with "trolley bus system", a slightly repetitive wording, in order to allow Wikipedia's Trolleybus article to be linked in the hook. SJ Morg (talk) 20:07, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

• Hook: I prefer ALT2, no need to be repetitive. Short enough, interesting enough. AGF on hook fact cited to offline reference, icon status checks out. Image is a little... bleh.

Article: Length and date both check out. Images are all properly licensed. Referencing seems fine. The most heavily cited sources are offline, so AGF on that. Paraphrasing on twice-cited online source is fine.

Summary: Good to go, but I don't think the image should be used. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:59, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
